Triple H Is Reminded Of John Cena When He Sees Young WWE Star
John Cena is one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time, and not many stars have reached his level. However, according to Triple H, a young star has similar potential to what Cena had when he was just getting started in WWE.
Triple H, along with Shawn Michaels, sat down for an interview with Variety ahead of WrestleMania 42, where they discussed how NXT standout Oba Femi is special and the qualities they have seen in him that make them confident he will become a top star in the future.
Triple H Sees John Cena-Like Potential in Oba Femi
Triple H stated that when he first saw Femi, 28, he couldn’t take his eyes off him because of his relentless determination and willpower. Seeing him work so hard reminded him of a young John Cena, who shared the same personality and charisma that Oba Femi possesses.
“I was in my office here, and I remember calling Matt and saying, who’s the big guy? Like, I can’t keep my eyes off him. And he told me who he was. And I’m like, how’s he doing? I can’t stop watching him. Like, everything he does, he’s dying in there, but he won’t stop. And I’m just watching. Every time I look up on this monitor, I see the big guy, there he is.”
“When John was first getting the, like, am I gonna go to Cena, kid? And everybody was like, that ain’t it. It was. He had all the other pieces of it, and the in-ring stuff came over time, but it wasn’t, it was never smooth. He was just the personality and the charisma that just made everything else work.”
Oba Femi faced Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 and shocked the wrestling world by defeating The Beast Incarnate on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Following his victory, Oba Femi has started a new storyline in WWE where he is issuing an open challenge to establish his supremacy over the roster.
