On February 28, Oba Femi was trending on social media for the wrong reasons.

Ahead of the Elimination Chamber PLE, The Ruler was part of a WWE meet-and-greet session with fans at the Fanatics Authentic booth inside Chicago’s United Center.

A fan’s post on X, however, went viral as she expressed her disappointment, claiming it was her first and last picture with the former NXT Champion.

My first and last picture with @Obaofwwe.. very disappointing meet and greet 💔. Btw guys it’s not just me he won’t do any special poses with fans.

The fan’s post basically reveals that Oba Femi did not adhere to a ‘special pose’ request by the fan, leaving her disappointed.

Several users called out the fan for their entitlement, as the photo showed both of them smiling, with the 27-year-old star even putting his arm around her.

Oba Femi Destroys The Miz On WWE SmackDown

While Oba Femi is not scheduled to compete at the Elimination Chamber, he competed in a singles match on SmackDown.

Last week, he was featured in a backstage segment with The Miz, who wished to ally with the Nigerian wrestler by taking him under his wing.

Instead, Oba went to Nick Aldis to get a match finalized between the two.

On February 27, The Miz again tried to convince Femi, but his efforts came to naught. Oba went on to destroy the A-Lister inside five minutes by hitting his Fall From Grace finisher.
