Big E believes Oba Femi is on the verge of a career-defining moment at WrestleMania 42.
Speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Big E was asked about Femi’s upcoming match against Brock Lesnar and did not hold back on his assessment of where the young star stands heading into the weekend.
“He absolutely is. Look, Oba Femi has the people. This dude, if you’re not familiar, he was a shot putter at Alabama. He is a top tier athlete, 6’6″, 310 pounds, lean. He has the fans, he has the momentum, and that promo that he, the walk is, the walk is crazy. The walk is certified now. I’m at home on the couch just hitting it. Look, this man also, I think I have never seen someone line up against Brock Lesnar and look this ready and have the people in the palm of his hands. He’s 27 years old. I think this is his time. I think at WrestleMania, Oba Femi shows the world that he is ready to be the face of WWE,” Big E said.
Femi faces Lesnar on night two of WrestleMania 42 on Sunday, April 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
