Oba Femi: I’m Ready, I’m Hungry. I’m Hungrier Than A Lot Of These 47 Year Olds, I’ll Tell You That

Oba Femi knows that father time always wins.

There has been a refreshing response to Femi’s main roster treatment so far, with many fans appreciating the fact that WWE is focusing on a younger star.

Speaking with Shakiel Mahjouri for a recent interview, Femi said that the company’s trust in him is well deserved.

“Well, it’s very good. At the end of the day, those old guys, they’re doing their thing. They’re killing it but at the same time, father time always wins. A lot of them are 44, 45, 46, they’re on their way out. They have one foot out of the door. This is a time for someone like The Ruler to come in and take their place, fulfill destiny. I’ve built the trust with them, I’ve built the equity in NXT with everything I did with the NXT Championship, all those classic matches I had. When they’ve seen the body of work, they’re like, ‘Okay, we have something here.’ I think it’s good that they’re putting that trust in me because I think it’s well deserved.”

Mahjouri proceeded to ask Femi about the possibility of him becoming a world champion before he turns 30 years old.

“I think the odds are very high, they’re stacked in my favor. Like I said, I’m young. I’m spry. I’m ready. I’m hungry. I’m hungrier than a lot of these 47 year olds, I’ll tell you that. I think we’re going to see that happen very soon because it’s not just me too. It’s me, it’s Bron, it’s Dominik. There’s so much going on right now when it comes to the young talent.”

Femi will take on Brock Lesnar in a singles bout at WWE WrestleMania 42. Learn how that match was made by clicking here.
