Unfortunate update on major missing WWE name - Reports

A major name has been absent from WWE TV for a while now. An unfortunate update has just emerged about the star.

Oba Femi established himself as one of the top stars on NXT over the past year with his impressive performances. After winning the Breakout Tournament, he capitalized on the opportunity and won the NXT North American Championship.

During his reign, he destroyed everyone who dared challenge him for the title. Oba Femi held the North American Championship for 273 days.

However, he finally met his match in Tony D'Angelo. After weeks of personal attacks against D'Angelo and his stablemates, both men locked horns at NXT Halloween Havoc in a Tables, Ladders, & Scares match where Femi's reign of terror ended. After losing the title to D'Angelo, The Ruler has not been seen on TV, leaving fans wondering about his whereabouts.

Corey Brennan of Fightful reports that Oba Femi has not been seen backstage since Halloween Havoc.

"We have not heard of Oba Femi being backstage in NXT since Halloween Havoc. @FightfulSelect will continue to ask."
