Oba Femi Challenges Roman Reigns After Money in the Bank

Oba Femi defeated Bronson Reed at Money in the Bank on October 10, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana, then targeted Roman Reigns after the event as WWE continues positioning Femi as a major future challenger.

According to Fightful, Femi won the singles match despite interference from The Vision. The victory came after he survived Reed’s attacks, including a Tsunami and a moonsault, according to Sports Yahoo.

Fightful reported that Femi addressed Reigns during the post-show when asked about potential opponents.

"Tribal Chief. No more running. It’s about that time." said Oba Femi.

Sports Yahoo reported WWE has protected Femi from entering the world title picture immediately after he chose not to use his King of the Ring title opportunity for a championship match.

The outlet noted Femi previously won the King of the Ring tournament and had also been featured in major events, including a Royal Rumble appearance and matches involving Brock Lesnar.

Sports Yahoo described WWE’s current direction as building toward a possible future match between Femi and Reigns. The report also said Reigns has been strengthened through recent victories against opponents including Seth Rollins, Penta, and LA Knight.

According to Sports Yahoo, WWE can continue presenting challengers for Femi before a potential larger title program, with former world champion Drew McIntyre mentioned as a possible opponent.
