Bully Ray Speculates on Oba Femi's Creative Path: From SummerSlam to WrestleMania
In the world of professional wrestling, speculation and anticipation often swirl around the careers of rising stars. One such star, Oba Femi, has been the subject of much discussion following his recent encounter with Brock Lesnar at Clash in Italy. The outcome of that match, a loss for Femi, has sparked debates about his future in the WWE and the potential for a trilogy of matches with Lesnar.
During an episode of 'Busted Open Radio', co-hosts Dave LaGreca and Bully Ray explored the possibilities, with Bully offering an intriguing perspective on Femi's trajectory. He suggested that WWE might be considering a strategic delay in scheduling a third Lesnar-Femi match, especially given Femi's current involvement in the King of the Ring tournament, which could lead to a World Title opportunity.
Bully's reasoning is rooted in the idea of building Femi's momentum and reputation. He believes that a delay until WrestleMania next year could be beneficial, allowing Femi to establish himself as a dominant force in the company. By winning the World Championship at WrestleMania, Femi would not only achieve a significant milestone but also solidify his place in the WWE's main event scene.
However, Bully also acknowledged the potential for a more immediate showdown at SummerSlam. He suggested that WWE might still aim for a third Lesnar-Femi match at SummerSlam, using it as a springboard for Femi's push throughout the fall and December. This approach would set the stage for Femi's potential WrestleMania triumph, creating a compelling narrative arc.
"I would think that they would have Oba defeat Brock at SummerSlam," Bully said. "Keep him hot as they can, have him win the Rumble, and then win at WrestleMania. Cause now you have...Oba Femi would have defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Oba Femi would have defeated and retired Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Oba Femi would have won the Royal Rumble. Oba Femi would have won the World Championship at WrestleMania."
This speculation highlights the intricate planning and storytelling that goes into professional wrestling. By carefully crafting Femi's journey, WWE can create engaging storylines and build anticipation for future events. The delay or immediate match at SummerSlam could both be valid strategies, each offering unique opportunities for character development and fan engagement.
In the end, the decision will likely depend on WWE's creative vision and the overall direction of Femi's character. Whatever the outcome, the speculation surrounding Oba Femi's path from SummerSlam to WrestleMania showcases the excitement and intrigue that surrounds professional wrestling, leaving fans eager to see how his story unfolds.
