Following a championship-winning run in NXT, Oba Femi has addressed WWE main roster pressure which started at the Royal Rumble.
A two-time NXT Champion, Femi would go on to face Cody Rhodes in a match that ended with no contest at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event back in December of last year.
His official main roster debut would take place the following month at the Royal Rumble, where he was entrant number one, eliminating five before being despatched over the top rope by Brock Lesnar.
In a recent interview with TV Insider, Femi was asked about the pressure of being an ‘unstoppable monster’ in WWE, saying:
“It’s nothing I haven’t done before. I did that my whole NXT run. I’m doing that now.
“I’m good at dealing with pressure. That’s why I’m here. At least that’s why I think that’s why I’m here.
“Nothing changes. The same thing that brought me to the dance is the same thing I’m doing here.”
Femi would also discuss the differences between the main roster and NXT, and revealed the names of his mentors.
With his Royal Rumble appearance seeing a face-off with Brock Lesnar, Femi has also previously discussed the potential of a match between the two monster stars.
