Oba Femi: I’m Stronger Than I Even Know Sometimes

Oba Femi is headed into his first WrestleMania and has the biggest match of his life, both mentally and physically.

On night 2 of WrestleMania 42, Oba Femi will kick off the night by going toe to toe with Brock Lesnar. These two behemoths have been on a collision course for weeks, and it’s about to explode in two days time.

Before the clash, Oba Femi sat down for a special inside look on WWE’s YouTube channel. It was there, where he revealed that he’s stronger than he even knows.

“I’m stronger than I even know sometimes. I grew up in Lagos, Nigeria. I’m stronger than a lot of people because I lived life on hard mode in Nigeria. When I was coming up, things were tough. It was a harder life than it should’ve been.”

Oba went on to reveal that as a kid, he used to watch bootleg DVDs to see his favorite wrestlers.

”My all-time favorite is Triple H, The Undertaker, the aura surrounding those men, they just seemed so grand. It was their larger than life personality.”

Now, Oba Femi is that larger than life character to the fans in 2026. And he’ll be on the grandest stage of them all, looking to use all that strength and the hardships, ball it up into whatever he can to slay the beast, Brock Lesnar.  But, that’s no easy task.

“I have this undying motivation to win. I’ve been in that winning mindset for so long now, that I’ve like kind of lost that underdog feel. But, that’s also a part of the reason why Brock Lesnar standing across from me, is such a big deal. Because, he would be my most recent thing to overcome. This is the highest challenge I’ve ever had in front of me.”

Now, all that’s left to do is get ready for the fight of his life. You can see the full inside look on Oba Femi in the video below.
