Oba Femi’s meet-and-greet controversy during Elimination Chamber weekend took another turn after AEW star Ricochet publicly weighed in before the original fan post was deleted.
As the debate gained traction online, Ricochet responded directly to the fan’s criticism with a blunt message defending Femi. Posting from his verified account under his “Lightskin Kingpin” handle, Ricochet didn’t hold back.
“I wouldn’t have done your dumbass Pom-Pom pose either 🙄 loser.”
The comment quickly gained attention as fans noticed Ricochet stepping in to support the rising WWE star. However, the fan’s original post was later deleted, and Ricochet’s reply now appears under a notice indicating the original content no longer exists.
Femi initially became a trending topic after a fan shared a photo from a Fanatics Authentic meet-and-greet at the United Center in Chicago during Elimination Chamber weekend. While the fan expressed disappointment in the interaction and claimed he would not do special poses, the photo itself showed Femi smiling with his arm around the fan.
The situation sparked widespread debate across social media, with many fans and wrestling personalities defending Femi and emphasizing that wrestlers are not obligated to fulfill specific pose requests during meet-and-greets.
Do you think wrestlers should accommodate special fan pose requests at meet-and-greets, or are they justified in setting their own boundaries?
