Oba Femi Reveals What Triple H Said To Him After Saturday Night’s Main Event

Oba Femi said Triple H had some encouraging words for his future after his match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The NXT Champion held his own against Rhodes at the Peacock special, and the match only ended when Drew McIntyre got involved. That led to Femi putting hands on McIntyre.

Femi reflected on those moments on the Saturday Night’s Main Event recap. Femi said that it was not personal between himself and McIntyre. You can see the highlights below:

On Competing On the Same Card Where John Cena Retired:

“I do respect John. I don’t want the way I’m carrying myself to come across as me not caring about John, or me not really paying reverence to him. I respect everything he’s done; he defined my childhood. He was on my screen for 19 years before I left Nigeria and came to the States. He was on my screen the entire way.

“So I respect John. You know, I love his work. I admire John, he’s the man. But was poetic about all this — and I’ve said this multiple times over the course of this weekend — is that his end is my beginning. And that’s something special right there.”

On Shoving McIntyre:

“It is nothing personal between me and Drew right now. But he definitely robbed the fans. He robbed me of my moment too. And me shoving him was me sending a message. Because I’ve said the future is here. And that message is not just applicable to Cody Rhodes. It’s for every single 40-year-old veteran on this roster. The future is here. The future is now, and the now is me.”

On What Triple H Said To Him On His Way Out:

“He said, ‘We’re going to make magic.’ And I agree. Because you know, it doesn’t get more complete than Oba Femi. Everything you need — the strength, the size, give him a mic. Magic. We will make magic.”
