WWE stars Oba Femi and Grayson Waller face major career shifts

WWE veterans and industry insiders are discussing the career trajectories of rising stars Oba Femi and Grayson Waller.

Oba Femi, the former NXT champion, has gained significant momentum following victories over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 and inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam. This success has sparked a debate among veterans regarding his character direction. Matt Hardy suggested Femi should remain a popular ‘babyface’ due to his strong connection with fans, while Jinder Mahal argued that Femi should transition into a ‘heel’ role to maximize his impact.

Separately, reports indicate that Grayson Waller is slated for a major push within the company. After experiencing inconsistent momentum on the main roster due to changes in his associated factions, Waller is currently being positioned as a top performer in NXT. Sources suggest he may win the NXT title soon before returning to the main roster with a higher placement on the card, with long-term potential for a WWE Championship run.
