Oba Femi Was a Bray Wyatt Fan, Used One Of His Lines In a Promo

On a recent episode of her podcast, “What’s Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon,”  Oba Femi discussed growing up being a Triple H fan, drawing inspiration from Bray Wyatt and more. Wyatt passed away in August of 2023 but left a legion of fans and admirers in the business, many of whom are influenced by him to this day. Femi recalled being a fan of him from his days in NXT and how he used a line of his in a promo a few years back. Here are the highlights:

On Being a Fan Of Bray Wyatt:
“I loved Bray. I really, I loved the original Wyatt family. I just felt so passionately about that. The NXT version and when they first got to the main roster. I remember there was one line that they hit. I actually used that line in a promo a few years ago. He said, ‘You can send anybody after us, but don’t send anyone that you want back.’ And I was like, ‘This is the greatest bar ever.’ What a bar, what a mic drop. So I loved Bray, I loved watching Bray.”

On Who He Favorite Wrestler Used to Be:
“At this time [2011], your husband. I’ve watched his stuff, I’ve studied him. It was the way he worked. Just the intensity, the precision. I liked the way he worked in the ring. He was like more of a complete superstar. Like, he was good at everything. Nothing was lacking.

On Triple H
“You know, you have your promo guys and your body guys and your workrate guys and all that stuff. But he was complete. The total package, and I respected that.”
