“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.
