  "account": "WWE's Money in the Bank event revealed that Oba Femi is the key focus for the wrestling company. Since the summer, WWE has dedicated resources to elevate the former NXT champion, hoping to create an unforgettable moment where Femi defeats Roman Reigns for the biggest title in wrestling. Femi's performance in the PLE, including surviving a brutal attack and kicking out of two dangerous moves, showcased his immense talent and strength. Earlier this year, WWE used PLEs to promote Femi further, including having him participate in the Royal Rumble and King of the Ring tournament. Although some fans criticized Femi for not competing for a world title, WWE's decision to hold off on a title shot for him makes more sense when considering the monumental impact WrestleMania will have. Reigns' invincibility needs to be maintained, and Femi's victories over other high-profile opponents like Penta and LA Knight will help solidify his status as a frontrunner for the championship. To keep Femi's attention away from the World Heavyweight Championship, WWE should continue to push him with strong challengers like Drew McIntyre until the Royal Rumble in February.",
  "summary": "The outcomes at Saturday's Money in the Bank all seemed to serve a larger purpose — setting the stage for Femi's eventual coronation as WWE's next great superstar at WrestleMania.",
