I can personally write a novel on how good WWE wrestler Oba Femi is, and how he has the potential to become one of the pro wrestling company’s top stars in the future. “The Ruler” has all of the predictors for success — he’s big, oozes charisma, and has a great look that stands out. There’s still some work that has to be done from an in-ring perspective, but overall, Oba Femi has the “It” factor. This is why it’s no surprise to me that out of all male NXT wrestlers, WWE 2K25 players have chosen him more than anyone else.
Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, Oba Femi earned a scholarship to Middle Tennessee State University for his skill in the shot put. Eventually, Femi — whose real name is Isaac Odugbesan — transferred to the University of Alabama, where he won the SEC Indoor Track and Field Championships in 2021 and 2022. After his collegiate shot putting career was done, Femi signed with WWE. And despite only being in the business for just over two years, he’s already emerged as a top talent, winning the North American and NXT championships.
