WWE NXT commentator Booker T has been very impressed by one Superstar on the gold brand, who he feels is comparable to Bill Goldberg.
On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T spoke about the NXT run of Oba Femi and how he’s dominated like Goldberg in WCW. He said,
“I kind of compare him to someone like Goldberg. Somebody that was indestructible, I mean a guy that could go out there and just run the table. Only thing that’s different is Oba Femi is actually getting a lot more in-ring time, actually feeling the work side out a whole lot more than Goldberg.
“He actually came along on that same trajectory as a Bill Goldberg. Being a big guy, very, very impressive, looks like he’s unbeatable, unstoppable. He’s got all of those qualities, but there again, I think from his infancy stages he’s learning what it means to go out there and really truly learn the business.”
Femi won the NXT Breakout Tournament in late 2023, earning himself a title opportunity that he’d cash in to win the North American Championship this year.
Should he hold the gold for another month, Femi will break the record for the longest reign as NXT North American Champion.
