WWE is prone to overdoing it when it comes to its talent, because of course they are. It’s a business built on theatrics, after all. Oftentimes, though, less is more, and that’s the route they took with Oba Femi on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, aptly entitled the “Raw After Mania.”
Femi just dominated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in what may very well end up being the latter’s retirement match. It’s the kind of win that should catapult Oba into the stratosphere, signaling his arrival as a true player on the WWE main roster.
That’s all he had to say.
“The Ruler has arrived.”
He dropped the mic to a thunderous applause. Everyone is on board with this man as the next big thing, including the new world heavyweight champion. It’s worth noting that while both Femi and Roman Reigns teased out a confrontation during the WrestleMania 42 post show last night, none of that was mentioned here. Perhaps WWE is doing the smart thing and taking their time on this one.
Either way, your Daddy is home.
