WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) has urged the company go full throttle with pushing Oba Femi.
In his WrestleMania debut in a few weeks, Femi is set to face Brock Lesnar in one of the matches that has produced the most hype and interest leading into the event.
This included their face-off on last night’s WWE Raw at Madison Square Garden, where Triple H intervened and got between them before they could brawl.
Speaking on Busted Open, Bully Ray was adamant that WWE has a star in Femi and needs to go full force with making him a top star.
He said:
“I would put the foot on the gas pedal so hard and never let up. And the first person to say to me, ‘Yeah but…’ – f**k you, you’re fired.
“I am pushing the gas pedal all the way down to the floor. Put the pedal to the mother-trucking metal.
“Who cares. If something happens on the way, we’ll fix it along the way. We’ll fix it on the fly. Do it.
“When was the last time you put the pedal to the metal on any talent? You’ve gotta go back to the Brocks, you’ve gotta go back to the Kurts, you’ve gotta go back to the Randys.
“You’ve got something special in Oba, don’t sit there and discuss it. F**k it! Gun it and go.”

Oba Femi’s Chances Against Brock Lesnar At WrestleMania
As things stand right now, Oba Femi is the betting favorite to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 – and has been presented as the favorite on WWE TV, getting the better of Lesnar on several occasions.
While there are many vocal fans who believe creating a new major star in Femi by having him beat Lesnar would be the correct decision, it may depend on what WWE’s future plans for Lesnar are.
With Lesnar seemingly retiring pretty soon, WWE may want to save a monumental loss for his final match and have him go unbeaten until then.
That said, overall, Oba Femi winning here seems like the right call.
