The self-proclaimed badass construction worker who went viral for threatening wrestling fans isnt backing down hes escalating. After getting roasted across wrestling social media for his original 36-second rant, the man identified online as James Oja Jr. has now posted multiple follow-up videos on Instagram, shifting his aim from fans to actual pro wrestlers. Last Wednesday, he went after Brock Lesnar repeatedly mispronouncing his name as Bronk and accused the former UFC Heavyweight Champion and WWE megastar of being afraid of him. If that wasnt enough, he followed up on Friday with a new target: former UFC fighter and WWE star Matt Riddle. In the video, he mocked Riddles MMA career, WWE run, and current independent wrestling appearances. He continued by taking shots at Riddles post-WWE bookings. And then came the direct challenge. On February 23, 2026, he posted yet another video again calling out both Lesnar and Riddle, claiming their silence proves theyre scared. The original video sparked a massive backlash online, with wrestling fans flooding timelines with memes, insults, and fantasy booking scenarios pitting him against everyone from Hornswoggle to Brody King. Instead of backing down, he has now aimed higher directly at legitimate former UFC fighters with documented combat sports resumes. As of now, neither Brock Lesnar nor Matt Riddle has responded publicly. The internet roast that began with wrestling fans has now turned into open challenges aimed at some of the most physically dangerous names in the business.
