Oba Femi Makes Surprise Appearance

Friday’s WWE SmackDown show also featured Oba Femi making a surprise appearance.

During the show, Kit Wilson came out to the ring and talked about him being at the Royal Rumble and what he saw disgusted him. Wilson stated that he saw “30 chauvinistic pigs, toxic. Ugly meat heads, toxic. The sweating, grunting, toxic. The temper tantrums, toxic.” Wilson stated that all of them trying to battle it out to see who is the biggest alpha and that is why they didn’t want him in the match. After some more words boasting about himself and saying everyone else are all toxic. Wilson then proceeded to gyrate his hips and issued a challenge to anyone who was in the Rumble to face the man who redefined masculinity. This led to the lights going out and Femi’s music playing and him coming out to the ring to accept.
