One of the top stars in WWE currently is former NXT North American Champion Oba Femi. He recently won the Iron Survivor match at the Deadline Premium Live Event and is set to challenge Trick Williams for the NXT World Title at NXT: New Year’s Evil. Recently a former WWE Superstar shared his interest in wanting to wrestle Femi. It was none other than TNA’s AJ Francis.
During a recent interview with WrestleHolics, AJ Francis called Femi a bully and wanted to wrestle him. Francis also mentioned that he is bigger than the former NXT North American Champion.
“Trick [Williams] is in the middle of another great NXT Title run, and it’s looking like he’s about to face Oba Femi, which is cool,” AJ Francis said. “I’d love to wrestle Oba Femi. Oba Femi be bullying these boys. I’m bigger than Oba. So there’s a lot of things that could be really cool when I go back.”
Oba Femi responded while speaking to The Takedown of Sports Illustrated. Femi shared that he is open to the idea especially because two super-heavyweights colliding against each other is a very rare occurrence in professional wrestling.
“It’s very rare that we get those. It’s always big man/small man, or both regular-sized guys,” Femi said. “The true potential of big man/big man matches is definitely something that’s still untapped in the recent years. I’m sure when you look back at the ’90s and ’80s, you’ll see a thousand big men working with each other. That’s one of the things that excites me about potentially working with AJ Francis is that it’s big man/big man, and you rarely get to do that. So I’m open to it.”

The former NXT North American Champion also shared his experience when he got to wrestle TNA star Hammerstone on NXT Television. Femi mentioned that it was nice to work with him and that he was a very nice man.
“He was a really nice man, lovely to meet him, lovely to work with him. I’m glad we get to expand our horizon because there’s definitely a WWE way and formula. It’s nice to work with these guys from TNA and find out how they do things and how they approach things. There’s always something to learn from everybody. I love Hammerstone – lovely fellow, lovely bloke,” Oba said.
