Oba Femi names a few NXT stars who share his mindset.
Oba Femi has become one of NXT's top stars, and he won the NXT Championship by defeating Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe at NXT New Year's Evil.
Speaking with Cameron Hawkins for Uncrowned, Oba Femi discussed his rise in NXT and highlighted a few members of the roster who had a similar mindset about giving the fans what they came to see.
“Me, Tony D'Angelo, Lexis King, Trick Williams. We all have that mindset of, 'Oh, we're out there. Bring it. Bring it to me. Let's make this good. Let's give these fans what they came to see. Let's make their money's worth. Let's give them their money's worth.' I'm so glad we have that healthy relationship," Femi said.
Femi also detailed his own approach in which he focuses on small victories, rather than big wins in the ring, as he explained that it wasn't about the accolades to him. He stated that falling in love with the craft helped him achieve the big things.
“I don't focus on things like [winning a title] as the big wins. This is great for me and the company as well because I plan to represent this brand the best I can. But it's little things like putting someone else over, making someone a new star, passing on the title, passing on the mantle, having a good match with someone they didn't think you were going to have a good match with — those are the wins for me. It's never about the accolades in and of itself. If you chase the small victories and fall in love with the craft, you always achieve the big things,” Femi said.
