Speaking on his Story Time podcast, former WWE manager Dutch Mantell, fka Zeb Colter, doubted that the company is redy to pull the trigger on Oba Femi and strap a rocket on his back just like they did with Brock Lesnar in 2002.

“I would be leery of letting (Oba) beat Brock, you know what I mean? I don’t think they’re gonna, I don’t know. There’s something about that guy that I don’t think they’re going to draw the money that they drew with Brock, and I had my doubts about Brock. But Brock, you know, he never talked a lot. He just went out there and beat guys up,” Mantell said.

One of the biggest criticisms of WWE over the past decade or so is their failure to establish new stars.

With Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes having roles in Hollywood, and CM Punk and Brock Lesnar closer to turning 50, it might be time for someone like Oba Femi to get a huge push.

Cody Rhodes says WWE is reloading with young talents like Oba Femi featured at WrestleMania 42

In an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Cody Rhodes acknowledged that WWE is making the transition into the next generation. Rhodes mentioned how the company is “reloading” with stars like Oba Femi and Trick Williams being a part of big matches at WrestleMania 42.

“We’re reloading. It’s very clear we’re reloading, and that’s great. It puts the fire on me, and I like that. But it’s the biggest thing we do. It’s the best thing we do,” Rhodes said. [H/T Fightful]

Rhodes won’t be facing a young prospect at WrestleMania 42. He’ll defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against his former mentor and friend, Randy Orton.
