A report from Fightful Select noted that the unscripted moment had led to backstage chatter. However, a more recent report from The Wrestling Observer Newsletter claimed that the incident was being viewed as something minor backstage, and no one was upset with Oba Femi.

A WWE star wants to take down Oba Femi

While Je’Von Evans has come close to defeating Oba Femi before, he has not been able to convincingly pull off a win.

Evans has had singles matches with Oba Femi before, and had come close to taking down The Ruler at NXT Heatwave 2025. Speaking on WrestleRant, Evans noted that he wanted to pin Oba Femi. He stated:

“That is true. I feel like that is a match that I do need because I just haven’t beaten him one-on-one, and I haven’t got the opportunity to run it back. Let’s be real, okay? A lot of people don’t know this, but there are only two people that have pinned Oba [Femi] longer than three seconds. Brock Lesnar and Je’Von Evans… It’s crazy to think about, you know, because everytime I pinned him, either the referee got involved or somebody got involved,” Evans said.

While Je’Von Evans is quickly rising through the ranks in WWE, defeating Oba Femi will likely take everything he has. It remains to be seen whether The Young OG can actually pull off the feat down the line in WWE. Meanwhile, Oba Femi has also been involved in a feud with The Vision, which appears to be shaping up to be an interesting storyline.
