While Rollins used the nickname after overcoming monumental odds to defeat Lesnar at the time, Oba Femi perhaps has more reason to keep it. He was the one who retired the former Universal Champion, after all, effectively slaying his career. However, not everybody in the WWE Universe is thrilled about the creative team re-using a gimmick that belonged to one of their biggest stars not too long ago.

WWE champion claims he isn’t a fan of Oba Femi’s signature move

In a recent appearance on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, NXT North American Champion Myles Borne claimed that he wasn’t a big fan of Oba Femi’s Pizza Toss move and hated being on the receiving end of it during one of their matches.

“Oba’s pizza toss. I’ll take pretty much anything, there’s nothing on the table that I’m not… I might be a little (grimaces), but we’re gonna do it. Once the cameras are live, I’m game. But when he picked me up for that pizza toss, I’ve got no choice, I’m in the air, there’s nothing I can do. And he just lets you go. That bump right there, it’ll knock the breath out of you. I took it once and I remember I hit and I just immediately lost my breath, and I just rolled out. It was a live show, I don’t even know where we were, we were on a tour, and I just rolled out and I said, ‘I’m done, that’s it,'” he said.

Borne is currently on NXT and is the reigning North American Champion in his first reign. It remains to be seen when he will battle Oba Femi on the main roster once he is promoted as well.
