Oba Femi Returns To University Of Alabama, Speaks With Football Team
Oba Femi returns to his home.
Ahead of WWE Raw in Birmingham on September 7, ‘The Ruler’ paid a visit to the University Of Alabama on Tuesday, September 1. This was a big homecoming for Femi, who graduated from the school with a visual arts degree in 2022.
After taking photos and taking a memory lane stroll through the facility, Oba Femi took a moment to speak to the school’s football team during practice. Although he didn’t play football at Alabama, Femi was a superstar for the university in the Track & Field department, winning three SEC titles for shot put.
