How WWE reportedly felt about the NXT performances at Saturday Night’s Main Event

As seen during WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13th 2025, multiple NXT stars had matches including Oba Femi and Je’Von Evans. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following about the performances…

“I know that people there were very impressed with the four that wrestled. Joe Hendry, everyone knows. He’s a guy that’s going to go out there and get a great crowd reaction and that’s a big part of their business. But they see Oba Femi as a superstar, they see Sol Ruca as a superstar, and they see Evans and Leon Slater as superstars.

They may botch it, something may happen, but it’s not like they aren’t seeing it. It was right in front of them, plus they got over with the crowd in D.C., which is a big thing.”
