Oba Femi lost his NXT Championship to Ricky Saints at NXT No Mercy after being a champion for 263 days. The Ruler is likely to get the main roster callup, as he has had two great title runs in NXT. Oba might make his main roster debut with a Royal Rumble debut to kickstart a new trajectory in his career.

Oba won the NXT Championship at NXT New Year's Evil by beating Trick Williams. Since then, he had not lost a match and successfully defended the title against the likes of Moose, Trick, Je'Von Evans, Myles Borne, and others. All of his matches were bangers and hallmarked the quality of his reign.

He was booked as an unconquerable force in his reign. Not just in his NXT Title reign, but also in his record NXT North American Championship reign, where none beat him barring Tony D'Angelo. Having made a name for himself in the developmental brand, the young wrestler might be headed to the main roster.

Will Oba Femi make his Royal Rumble 2025 debut before the main roster callup?

Given his great mic skills, presentation, theme song, in-ring skills, storytelling ability, and character devlopment, Femi shouts a main event contender for the years to come. It will be important to book him the same way Bron Breakker was. The two might well be the future of the company.

Femi is likely to have a few appearances in NXT before taking a hiatus to return at the Royal Rumble as one of the contenders. Following that, he might get drafted to either Raw or SmackDown. The latter needs a dominant force like Oba. The Red Brand has many great talents and good storylines already going on.
