Oba Femi Emerges as WWE's Future Star in 2026

Oba Femi established himself as the centerpiece WWE can build around during 2026, highlighted by his King of the Ring victory and ending Brock Lesnar's career in matches at WrestleMania and another event. AEW saw Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks entering the final stages of their runs while Will Ospreay rose to become the company's top star, signaling a shift toward an Elite-less era. Swerve Strickland was among those praising Femi amid these developments for the two major promotions.
