Oba Femi's Main Roster WWE Brand Revealed

Oba Femi is set to move to the WWE main roster, having left the NXT Championship in the middle of the ring following his successful title defence against Leon Slater at New Year's Evil, and which brand 'The Ruler' will land on has been revealed.

According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, Oba Femi is expected to join Monday Night Raw. The 27-year-old is also planned to debut full-time on the main roster near the top of the card and there have been pushes within WWE creative for Oba Femi to be featured in a prominent role at WrestleMania 42.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select further noted that Oba Femi relinquished the NXT Championship because of imminent plans for him on the main roster. He didn't simply lose to Leon Slater as those on the main roster creative team didn't want Oba Femi to take another loss.

Oba Femi quickly cemented himself as a rising star in WWE after his televised NXT debut in 2023, and he was earmarked for a main roster call-up after impressing in his match with Cody Rhodes at the December 13, 2025 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event.

Oba Femi ended his run on WWE NXT as a two-time NXT Champion, one-time NXT North American Champion, and the winner of the 2023 NXT Breakout tournament.
