Oba Femi Talks Royal Rumble Interactions With Brock Lesnar, ‘We Have Something There, It’s A Big Money Fight’
Oba Femi comments on his interactions with Brock Lesnar.
Femi and Lesnar shared the ring for the first time during the Men’s Royal Rumble match. After lasting 39 minutes and eliminating 5 participants himself, Femi was tossed out of the bout by Lesnar.
Speaking with the No Contest Wrestling Podcast for a new interview, Femi talked about his brief interactions with Lesnar and how they didn’t want to “blow their load” in a Royal Rumble match.
“There so much nuance to that moment because there’s one thing to have buzz online, but a lot of times, buzz online doesn’t necessarily translate to what the casual crowd or the live crowd wants. At the beginning stages of the face off, me and Brock know that based on our reaction, we both have the understanding that there might be something here. They’re getting louder, they’re getting louder, it’s rumbling, we have something. In that moment, you have that mental agreement like yes, we know we have something so let’s not give away too much right now. I’m glad it got the reaction, I’m glad the IWC desires actually translates to the live crowd and what’s the casual fans want to see. That’s an amazing realization. We have something there, it’s a big money fight. We’re not going to blow our load on just a Rumble interaction, there’s so much more than can happen there. We’ll see down the line.”
