Former WWE star Donovan Dijak recently claimed WWE strategically uses match bookings to test whether wrestlers have attitude problems before making major investments in them. The former WWE star pointed to Oba Femi's early NXT run as a prime example of this practice.

Dijak commented on a post highlighting that 'The Ruler' went 0-5 on NXT LVL Up in 2022 and 2023, with every loss coming against wrestlers no longer with the company. According to Dijak, these bookings were deliberate tests to gauge Femi's professionalism and attitude.

"I don't even know if this is true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. WWE will often quietly test wrestlers to see if they have an attitude problem, especially if they have big plans in store," Dijak wrote on X. "Oba obviously passed with flying colors. I never heard anything even remotely negative and he was a pleasure to work with.



Femi's career trajectory since those early losses validates Dijak's theory. The Nigerian powerhouse defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42. He has been running dominant open challenges weekly on Raw, cementing his status as one of WWE's top stars.
