“It feels amazing,” Femi said. “It’s one thing to tell everyone what you are, and it’s another thing to show everybody exactly what you are. That is what I did tonight. I took 25 years of history. I took 25 years of dominance from the Beast, and I made it null. I am who I say I am. I am the Ruler, the Destroyer, the Bringer of War, Oba Femi.”
Following Oba Femi’s victory, Brock signified that it would be his official final match with WWE. He left his boots and gloves in the center of the ring before embracing his manager and mentor, Paul Heyman, in one of the most emotional segments of the program.
