The WWE Superstar is returning to a place he knows well.
Prior to WWE RAW in Birmingham on September 7, “The Ruler” made a special trip to the University of Alabama on Tuesday, marking a memorable homecoming.
Femi graduated from the university in 2022 with a degree in visual arts. During his visit, he snapped photos around campus and revisited locations that shaped his college experience.
The former NXT World Champion also visited the Alabama football team’s practice to address the players.
Though he never played football for the Crimson Tide, Femi made a significant impact as a member of the Track & Field program, capturing three SEC titles in the shot put.
Now a rising star in WWE, Femi will head back to his home state next week when Monday Night Raw comes to Birmingham.
WWE Superstar and Alabama alum Oba Femi stopped by Alabama football’s practice on Tuesday and spoke to the team.
Femi will appear LIVE on WWE Monday Night Raw Sept. 7 in Birmingham.
