Oba Femi says he appreciated his experience working with Otis.
The longest reigning NXT North American Champion of all time recently spoke to Adam Barnard of The Takedown. He discussed things such as NXT\’s partnership with TNA, his feud with Tony D\’Angelo and more.
He was also asked about working with Otis during his championship reign and what it was like being on the receiving end of the Caterpillar. Responding to it, Oba Femi claimed that the Caterpillar is a memory his brain had buried deep into his mind:
\”That is a lot of human being. You don\’t know what you just did there. You just unlocked a hidden something my brain tried to bury and you just excavated it from the ground. That’s a lot of man coming down on you. Pause. But yeah, he\’s a big man.
I enjoyed working with Otis. He\’s a very entertaining fellow. I like how he makes the smallest of things mean the most. He\’s a star definitely so. [He] definitely pushed me into my limits as well. Just moving him around was difficult and when something is difficult, I embrace the challenge. So I appreciated my experience working with Otis.\
Oba Femi won the Men\’s Iron Survivor challenge match at Deadline earlier this month to earn a shot at Trick Williams\’ NXT Championship.
Unfortunately for the 26-year-old, the match for New Year\’s Evil on January 7 has been converted into a triple threat after Eddy Thorpe also laid claim on a title rematch following a chaotic end to his last fight with Williams.
