Oba Femi Teases Match With Roman Reigns: ‘The OTC Can Get Some’

Oba Femi is staking his claim as a main event player after beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42, teasing a challenge to Roman Reigns by the end of the year. The Ruler stamped his name in WrestleMania history by defeating Brock Lesnar in shockingly short order on night two of the PPV. Lesnar seemed to indicate his retirement from the ring after the match, making way for Femi as a new dominant player in WWE.

Femi appeared on the WrestleMania 42 Sunday post-show and talked about his match and win. He noted that he was feeling “fazed” before the match, pointing out that no matter what, it is Brock Lesnar. He said that he just refused to show it so as not to give Lesnar something to pounce on. Femi was also asked about his future plans and noted that he will be establishing himself as a main event player in the coming weeks before teasing a chase of new World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns. You can see highlights below:

On How He’s Feeling After His Win:

“Thank you very much. It feels amazing. Because it’s one thing to tell everybody what you are, and it’s another thing to show everybody exactly what you are. And that is what I did tonight. I took 25 years of history; I took 25 years of dominance from The Beast, and I made it null. Because I am who I say I am. I’m The Ruler, The Destroyer, The Bringer Of War, Oba Femi.”

On His Emotions Heading Into the Match:

“Corey, it’s always been real. It’s been real ever since I was in NXT, it’s real today. And you said I was unwavered, unfazed — it seemed that way, but at the end of the day it’s Brock Lesnar. I was fazed. I understood how big the challenge was ahead of me.

“But you can’t show fear to someone like that. He feasts on stuff like that. Once he knows you’re afraid, that’s when his confidence starts to rise, like ‘Oh, it’s just a front. It’s just an act.’ No, no, no. So I knew from the beginning, if I showed any ounce of fear, it was game over for me.”

On If the Fan Support Surprises Him:

“They’re my people, aren’t they? I’m their Ruler, aren’t I? They will follow me, they will walk with me. And most importantly, they will strut with me!”

On What The Future Looks Like For Him:

“I think tomorrow is a celebration. I think in the coming weeks is the establishment of a new main event player. And I think at the end of the year, the OTC can get some!”
