Oba Femi is responding directly to the early backlash surrounding his WWE 2K26 model and he says changes are already on the way. When WWE first revealed Femis entrance in WWE 2K26, many quickly noticed that it looked more like his early NXT presentation. The shorter hair, the more rigid walk, and a tame version of the signature strut that The Ruler has developed over the past year led to a lot of backlash online. Now, Femi has addressed it himself. Speaking on the February 25, 2026 edition of No-Contest Wrestling, the two-time NXT Champion explained that what fans saw wasnt a mistake it was simply an earlier version of him captured during initial motion sessions. However, he acknowledged that his presence has evolved significantly since then. Femi then reassured fans that the current version of The Ruler will be properly represented in the game. He also made a specific gear request that longtime viewers will recognize immediately. While early footage may have led to backlash, Femis message is clear: the polished, strutting version of Oba Femi is on the way in WWE 2K26.
