5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw After WrestleMania 42 (Results & Review)
4. Oba Femi’s Simple Statement
What a WrestleMania weekend for one Oba Femi. He blasted through Brock Lesnar like 'The Beast' was Eric Bischoff in WWE 2K26 before developers patched the game, and he looked like a million bucks before the PLE by rough-housing Lesnar on episodes of Raw. Come Monday, fans eagerly anticipated seeing Oba for the first time since he became WWE's new made man.
Femi kicked off the night by saying, “The ruler has arrived”. One mic drop later and the powerhouse looked like an even bigger star than he had before Monday's show started. This is really all Oba needed to say, to be honest. This is worth repeating: The man looks every bit a star from head to toe, and he's poised to become WWE’s focal point after beating Brock at ‘Mania.
Before addressing his adoring public, Oba soaked in cheers and chants from the live crowd, then said his bit and left. His segment on Monday didn’t need to be some 10-15 minute speech anyway, but what Femi does next in-ring is important. That's going to be key. The company must follow up on his win over Lesnar with something else that feels just as massive. No mucking about in the undercard for too long, please.
Roman Reigns has his match for Backlash, so Oba isn't getting that spot. However, WWE has plenty of top names who can go after him, which means there are loads of workers Femi can mow down en route to the top titles. He looks ready, doesn't he?
