We’re Losing What Made Oba Femi Special

Last night’s RAW gave us another chapter in the Oba Femi open challenge, and honestly… I’m starting to get worried. I’ve watched Oba since NXT, and this man can WRESTLE. He wasn’t just some giant throwing people around. He could actually go in the ring, have competitive matches, tell stories, and put on bangers when the moment called for it. That’s what made him special.

Now that he’s on the main roster, it suddenly feels like he only knows five moves. Every week is just domination, intimidation, and another squash. Yes, he should look strong. Yes, him beating Brock Lesnar was absolutely the right call. But strength alone isn’t enough to keep a character interesting long-term. Right now, it feels like WWE is turning him into “big scary guy destroys people” instead of building an actual layered character around him.

And that’s my biggest issue with this open challenge already. Him destroying a random tag team doesn’t really help anybody. It doesn’t elevate the tag division, it doesn’t give Oba a meaningful rivalry, and somehow only two weeks into this thing the entire roster already acts terrified of him. That’s way too fast. Instead of endless squashes, give Oba real stories, real rivalries, and opponents that push him to actually wrestle again — because we already KNOW he can.

In this video, I break down why I think WWE may already be mishandling Oba Femi, why the open challenge isn’t working for me so far, and what needs to change before one of WWE’s most promising stars starts feeling one-dimensional.
