Triple H: When I Say There Is No Ceiling For Oba Femi, I Really Mean There Is No Ceiling, It’s Anything He Wants

Triple H says that Oba Femi does not have a ceiling and that he could have anything he wants in the pro wrestling industry.

At SummerSlam later this week, Femi and Brock Lesnar will face off in their trilogy bout ahead at the event inside Hell In A Cell. Femi has had a big year so far, and is the current reigning King Of The Ring as well as having previously defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania. For Triple H, Oba reaching the top of the WWE is ‘a matter of when, not if.’

While speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Triple H was asked what is Oba Femi’s ceiling to which he replied that Femi simply does not have one.

“First of all, I think that is something that’s going to be happening for a long time is people stepping up and the first thing they ask is about Oba Femi. There is no ceiling. I’ve been fortunate enough to be around this business for a long time and see a lot of guys come and go to see a lot of first moments for people. The only guy that I have seen that I can recall down the hallway at one of our events seeing for the first time and thinking, ‘wow, this just changed the game,’ was Brock Lesnar. Oba Femi is of that same cloth. He’s a guy that when you see him, when you see him in ring for the first time and keep in mind, he’s only been doing this for a very, very short period of time. He is a paradigm shifting game, changing athlete that comes along once in a generation, very rare. There is no ceiling, and the one thing about Oba I think that stands out more than anything else for me, dealing with him on a day-to-day basis, is he is a smart, smart man also. It’s not just a case of this physically intimidating generational athlete that others can’t match. It’s a different level of intelligence and business savvy like I’ve seen in very few people also. When I say there is no ceiling, I really mean there is no ceiling. It’s anything he wants. It’s just a matter of when, not if.”
