Though Big E’s future in the ring remains uncertain, the former WWE Champion hopes to sees big things in the future of one of NXT’s top names. Taking to X (fka Twitter,) Big E shared that he is a big fan of WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi. Not only has Big E been impressed by The Ruler, but hopes to see plenty of gold in the future of the Nigerian Superstar.
Femi, a recruit from WWE’s Next-In-Line program, has certainly impressed since joining WWE NXT. In 2024, Femi broke the record for the longest-reign as WWE NXT North American Champion. He has similarly impressed in 2025 as he defeated Trick Williams to become NXT Champion during NXT New Year’s Evil in January.
Femi’s work has gained the interest of talent from outside WWE as TNA X-Division Champion Moose confronted Femi during a recent edition of WWE NXT. Femi responded by showing up in TNA iMPACT and the pair were on opposing sides of a six-man tag-match won by Moose and The System. The pair will battle at WWE NXT Roadblock with Femi’s NXT Title on the line.
As for Big E, March 2025 marks three years since the broken neck injury that has derailed his in-ring career. Nevertheless, Big E has remained an active part of WWE programming, and is excited to see what’s to come for The Ruler.
