“The Ruler” Oba Femi joins the show to discuss his journey that took him from Nigeria to becoming a track and field star at the University of Alabama to being recruited by the WWE and becoming the NXT Champion. Oba Femi talks about how he rooted for Triple H and CM Punk in his youth, what it felt like when he first stepped into a wrestling ring, his “welcome to wrestling” moment when he first felt pain in the ring, and the moment that wrestling broke his heart as a fan. Also, Oba Femi discusses the importance of Shawn Michaels and Matt Bloom on his career, selects his “bar squad” and tells us what was the greatest match in his young career so far.
