In what would surely be a magnificently meaty affair, could we be about to see TNA's Moose face off with NXT's Oba Femi? If both men get their way, yes.

Of course, it will take a lot more than Moose and Oba pushing for this match for it to actually happen, but the pair have made it clear they'd love to share the ring.

This all started when Oba Femi appeared on The A Show on RNC RADIO and was asked who'd he like to face if he were to pay a visit to TNA. While AJ Francis was namedropped, Femi made it clear that Moose is the man he's most interested in squaring off against.

Having seen this clip on X, Moose was quick to respond and encouraged NXT's Shawn Michaels to call TNA management to make the match happen.

Moose vs. Oba Femi is certainly a match that captures the imagination when looking at the working relationship between WWE/NXT and TNA these days. At 6'6" and 310 lbs, the current NXT North American Champion could make for a fine opponent for the 6'5" 300 lbs TNA World Champion.
