The first major WWE Premium Live Event of the year is the Royal Rumble. It will be taking place on February 01. Already, many stars have announced that they will be entering the 2025 Royal Rumble. Some of the stars include John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre. Recently, the newly-crowned NXT World Champion Oba Femi shared his thoughts on if he will be a participant at this year’s Royal Rumble.
While speaking to Scott Fishman for TV Insider, Oba Femi mentioned that if he is given the opportunity, he will be down to make an impact at the Rumble. But as of now, he is focusing on making NXT great as the NXT World Champion.
“If it’s in the cards, it’s in the cards. If it’s not, it’s not. As I said, I’m the NXT Champion. Here I am. Let’s make NXT great.”
Oba Femi on the best advice he’s ever received
During the same interview, The Ruler shared what was the best advice he ever received. He mentioned that he was advised to be himself and own his space, and that clicked and helped his career.
“I’ve had so many nuggets of advice the past two-and-a-half years. Sometimes it’s weird things people say that will make it click in your head. People can say for you to look at the hard camera, and do all these cues. You don’t really get it until someone says, ‘You know what? Own your own space.’ Then it clicks.
“Sometimes there isn’t a nugget of wisdom I can tell you someone told me that will universally work for everyone. There is no such thing. I think it comes down to the constant people telling me things that click. Be big, be you, own your own space. Tell them who you are. That was a big one for me. Every time I’m on screen, let them know who you are. There are easy ways to do that by saying your name in every promo. That’s why people refer to themselves in the third person. The Rock says…People do that, but it doesn’t have to be that. It’s just the little things you do. The way you sell something,” Oba Femi said.
