From Shot Put Dreams to SmackDown Glory: Why Oba Femi Chose WWE Over Athletics

 

Nigerian-born powerhouse Oba Femi has opened up on the pivotal decision that reshaped his career, walking away from a promising future in athletics to pursue global stardom in WWE.



Before the bright lights, roaring crowds, and championship aspirations, Oba Femi was on a different path entirely. As a rising talent in shot put, he had his eyes firmly set on representing at the highest levels, with dreams of the Olympic stage within reach. His physical strength, discipline, and competitive drive made him one of the most promising prospects in the field.

However, beneath the surface of structured competition and measured throws, a different calling was brewing.


According to Femi, the transition was not impulsive but deeply intentional. He sought a platform that allowed for more expression, one that combined athleticism with personality, storytelling, and global reach. That platform, he found, was WWE.


“Wrestling gave me something athletics couldn’t,” he hinted in a recent revelation. “It gave me a voice, a stage, and the chance to connect with millions beyond just performance.”


Since making the switch, Oba Femi has wasted no time in establishing himself as a force to reckon with. His commanding presence, explosive power, and charisma have quickly set him apart in WWE’s highly competitive environment. Fans and analysts alike have taken notice of his meteoric rise, with many tipping him as a future champion.

His journey reflects a broader narrative about modern athletes—where talent alone is no longer enough, and the ability to entertain, inspire, and engage plays a defining role in success.

From the throwing circle to the squared ring, Oba Femi’s story is not just about changing careers—it’s about choosing impact over convention, and redefining what it means to be a Nigerian athlete on the global stage.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
