Add as a preferred source on Google Roman Reigns has once again weighed in on a potential match with Oba Femi in WWE. However, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion still doesn’t believe the young star is ready to face him.
During an appearance on Nightcap, live from Fanatics Fest, Reigns was asked about a future match against Oba Femi and pointed to the difference between the two.
“I just said Oba’s very new, and Oba’s got a lot of work to do. Me, I’m consistent and as tested as they come, so you already know what it is. I’m going to be there. The question is, can Oba make it all the way through? Can he find his way through the wilderness and find his way to the championship destination?”
This isn’t the first time Reigns has talked about facing Femi. After WrestleMania 42, where both men scored big wins, “The Ruler” challenged the OTC during the post-show. Reigns responded by telling the Nigerian to prove himself over the summer before thinking about stepping in the ring with him.
Since then, Femi defeated Jey Uso in the King of the Ring final, earning the right to challenge a world champion at SummerSlam. However, he passed up the title opportunity to continue his rivalry with Brock Lesnar.
Femi and Lesnar will meet in a Hell in a Cell match at SummerSlam. Oba won their first encounter at WrestleMania 42, while Lesnar got the better of him in the rematch at Clash in Italy. This will be the first Hell in a Cell match of Femi’s career.
Roman Reigns, meanwhile, will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at the same premium live event.
