You are still fresh – Reigns
The four-time WWE Champion, Roman Reigns, played down the growing hype around Oba Femi following his recent rise.
In a viral video shared on X, the two-time Royal Rumble winner stated that he has consistently defended titles at the highest level, insisting the Nigerian star is still new to the business, per MSN.
The 40-year-old added that Oba Femi must prove himself over time before thinking of stepping up to challenge him. He said:
Watch the video:
“Oba, you gonna kill me? So you seem still fresh on this business. You did a big thing tonight, but I’ve done that many times.
“I’ve done that with the title on the line and I did it, I took it, I defended it. Let’s see how you do through summer and then we’ll know if you can step up to the greatest of all time.”
