Omos comments on recent NXT live event match vs. Oba Femi
Omos says he had to show Oba Femi how to pay respect to his elders recently at NXT live events.
Femi and Omos went to a no-contest at an NXT house show on October 11 in Cleveland. Omos had attacked Femi at a show in Detroit the night before, leading to Femi calling out Omos for their match the following night.
When asked by TMZ Sports recently about his exchanges with Femi, Omos said he had to show Femi “how to properly pay respect to his elders, because back home, I’m considered his elder.”
“It was great to have that experience to show him what the big leagues are about on the main roster.”
Omos continued to say of Femi:
“I could tell the chemistry was there and we have something amazing. That’s the thing about this business. When you get in the ring with another individual, you want to feel that chemistry, that you guys can make magic, and I felt that in that moment.“
“Like I said again, I just had to show him who the big boss is and who the veteran is. “
“He’s done a great job with NXT, extremely charismatic, great on the mic, great body of work, great physicality, and guys like Oba are humbling to face. It gives me a lot of excitement when I meet guys that have such physical prowess as he does.“
Both Omos and Oba Femi are from Lagos, Nigeria. Femi came to the United States in 2017 on a University of Tennessee track and field scholarship. Omos moved to the U.S. at 15 and later played basketball at the University of South Florida.
Omos hasn’t wrestled since the three-show NXT house show loop from October 9 to 11. He defeated Lexis King in Columbus, and Myles Bourne in Cleveland before going to a no-contest with Femi in Detroit.
As for Femi, he’s only wrestled on untelevised events since dropping the NXT Championship to Ricky Saints at No Mercy last month.
