Oba Femi wants to keep changing the perception.
Oba Femi has become a breakout star in NXT. He had a dominant reign as the NXT North American Champion, and he reached the next level at NXT Deadline, as he won the Men's Iron Survivor Challenge. In doing so, he earned a shot at the NXT Championship.
Speaking with Adam Barnard for The Takedown on SI, Oba Femi commented on redefining what the big man style is, and he said that he wanted to bring that to the main roster. He emphasized that he wanted to change the perception of what the big man is.
“I want to take what I've done here in NXT, and that is redefine what the big man style is, and I plan to take it up there and throw it in the mix. I think I've done a good job of putting a spin on what the typical big man is. I've shown that the typical big man - the new big man, let's call it that, the new big man is a talker, the new big man is a thinker, and the new big man moves fast. I'm changing the perception of what that is. I hope that I can go to the main roster and show that to the world on a bigger platform than NXT. I love NXT to death. NXT is doing very well for itself. It's going up in viewers, and it gets viewers every year, but the main roster is the bigger audience," Femi said.
