Oba Femi didnâ€t just reclaim the NXT Championship at WWE NXT Deadline—he declared war on the main roster. And now Cody Rhodes is officially on notice.
After defeating Ricky Saints in a hard-hitting NXT Title match to open the final premium live event of 2025, Femi wasted no time turning the page. WWE released unseen post-match footage showing the new champ addressing his victory—and laying out a chilling prophecy for whatâ€s coming next.
“The biggest factor is change. Change came knocking at the door of Ricky Saints tonight and it asked for his title. And he had no choice but to relinquish. Because change always wins. When change met the dinosaurs, he sent the meteor. When change met man in the Old Testament, he sent the flood. And when Change comes to the main roster asking for Cody Rhodes, he will send the Ruler the Destroyer. Bring out War Over Fenny.â€
Oba Femiâ€s comments signal a dramatic shift in momentum as he prepares for his next challenge: a showdown with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event. That match is now set, and judging by Femiâ€s words, itâ€s personal.
The NXT Title match itself was a war. Saints threw everything he had at Femi, from tightrope hurricanranas to a crushing Exclamation Point DDT. Femi answered with raw power, surviving Saints†biggest shots and unleashing his signature Fall From Grace not once, but twice—using Saints†own finisher to close the book on their rivalry.
Femiâ€s resurrection as champion ends Saints†run at the top and positions “The Ruler†as a dominant force heading into 2026. But itâ€s that post-match promo thatâ€s now taking center stage—and fans are already speculating how Cody Rhodes will respond.
What do you make of Oba Femiâ€s warning to Cody Rhodes? Is he truly ready for the main roster—or is this message just a scare tactic? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
