Isaac Odugbesan: Early Career and Entry into WWE 

Next In Line (NIL) Oba Femi, who had been signed by WWE in December 2021, is the sum of Next In Line, a program used to recruit college wrestlers as a part of wrestling development. The Nigerian giant started his training in the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, after his college football career. His debut in-ring appearance was during an NXT house event on November 11, 2022, when he defeated Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. This was the beginning of his career in professional wrestling as he was no longer an athletic prospect, but a WWE wrestler, known as Oba Femi or King Femi in Yoruba.

NXT Television Premier and First Season (Late 2022 - Early 2023)

Femi appeared on television in the episode of NXT Level Up on November 18, 2022, losing to Dante Chen in a loss. He entered a few early games and developed the basics as he demonstrated his 6'6", 310-pound size. A short break was followed by a comeback by Femi who on April 25, 2023, played NXT Spring Breakin at NXT Spring Breakin, defeating Oro Mensah in a television match. This win made him a force to reckon with, with a combination of brute strength and unexpected footwork. The early booking made him an up-and-coming babyface who could become a singles gold record.

NXT Breakout Tournament Championship (January 2024)

On January 2, 2024, Femi made his breakout moment at NXT New Year evils. His NXT competition debuted him in the Men's NXT Breakout Tournament, where he went through the competition to win the championship contract in case of winning any NXT title. The victory had put in the spotlight his blistering offense, pop-up powerbombs, spinebusters and athleticism, and catapulted him into the title picture as the first graduate of the NIL program to get such instant success.

NXT North American Champion Winter (January - October 2024)

Cashing in on the January 9, 2024 episode of NXT, Femi became the NXT North American Champion by beating Dragon Lee to be the youngest winner among the history of the show. This is due to his 273 days ruling, the longest in the history of NXT, which involved defenses against Dragon Lee ( NXT Vengeance Day, February 2024), Dijak and Josh Briggs ( NXT Stand and Deliver, April), Wes Lee, and Joe Coffey ( NXT Battleground, June), Wes Lee ( NXT Heatwave, July) and Tony D'Angelo ( NXT No Mercy, September). His preeminence was solidified by a 30 game winning streak. The title run lost to D'Angelo in the middle of Family interference during the CW premiere of NXT on October 8, 2024.

NXT Championship Ascension (Late 2024 - Early 2025) and Iron Survivor Challenge.

Femi came back after unsuccessful rematches, including a defeat in the Tables, Ladders, and Scares at NXT Halloween Havoc (October 27, 2024). In place of injured Eddy Thorpe, he was the winner of the Iron Survivor Challenge, which earned him a shot at the NXT ChampionshipNXT New Year’s Evil (January 7, 2025): Femi becomes the NXT Championship winner to become another milestone as the first NIL graduate to win the WWE NXT ultimate title in a triple threat against Trick Williams and Thorpe.

Dominant NXT Championship Reign #1 (2025)

The initial NXT Championship season of Femi took up 263 days. Some of the important defenses were Austin Theory & Grayson Waller (NXT Vengeance Day, February 15, 2025), Moose of TNA (NXT Roadblock, March 11), Trick Williams and Je'Von Evans (NXT Stand and Deliver, April 19), Myles Borne (NXT Battleground, May 25), Yoshiki Inamura (NXT The Great American Bash, July 12), and Je'Von Evans (NXT Heatwave, August 24). The reign culminated in international crossovers, which revealed the international appeal of Femi. At NXT No Mercy (September 27, 2025), he lost the title to Ricky Saints.

Vacancy (Late 2025 - Early 2026) Second NXT Championship.

Femi was an NXT champion again at NXT Deadline (December 6, 2025) when he defeated Ricky Saints. The biggest addition to his roster was his main event appearance at the signature event of Saturday Night (December 13, 2025), in which he was to fight undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in a non-title Champion vs. Champion match but could not do so due to the interruption of Drew McIntyre. The title was declared vacant following his victory over Leon Slater at the New Year's Evil (January 6, 2026) which is why Femi vacated the title dramatically, with the belt held in the ring, signifying that he is being called into the main roster.

Main Roster Debut and Raw Transition (2026-Present)

At the beginning of 2026, Vignettes teased Femi in any brand with no brand designation. At Royal Rumble (January 31, 2026), he was the first man to enter the event when he burst onto the stage, and disposed five individuals before being thrown out by Brock Lesnar. On March 16, 2026, an episode of Raw, Femi attacked Lesnar, who was responding to his open challenge to WrestleMania 42, his first appearance on Raw as an official top singles threat. The current booking entails him as a heel of the monsters who are willing to pummel the time-tested legends.
