Summary

Trick Williams says Oba Femi will be part of his wedding party, adding another public sign of how close the two former NXT standouts remain after their moves to WWE's main roster.

While discussing Femi in a recent interview, Williams said the two came up together in NXT and have both spent roughly the last four months establishing themselves on different brands. Williams said Femi is on Raw while he is on SmackDown, and he praised the way both men are rising at the same time.

Quote from Trick Williams

"Oba’s my boy, man, we was at NXT together. We both been on the main roster for about four months now. Man, I gotta brag on him because, man, he’s taking over and I’m taking over on opposite brands. He on Raw, I’m on SmackDown. You know, he’s going to be in my wedding and everything, man. He’s one of my groomsmen. He was doing his thing. He retired Brock Lesnar tonight. We never seen Brock look so vulnerable."

Trick Williams and Oba Femi still carry that NXT connection

Williams framing Femi as one of his groomsmen makes it clear this is more than routine locker room praise. It also adds some personal context to the on-screen rise both men are having after their NXT runs.

That shared history has already come up in WWE coverage before, including Oba Femi reflecting on his NXT run with Trick Williams and Je'Von Evans. With Williams now holding the WWE United States Championship and Femi drawing praise for his own breakout momentum, the friendship gives fans another connection point between two wrestlers who continue to be positioned as part of WWE's next wave.
