Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently discussed rising star Oba Femi in a recent episode of “Story Time with Dutch Mantell.” The 27-year-old wrestler has been making waves with his recent appearances on the main roster, catching the eye of wrestling veterans like Mantell.
During the show, Mantell mentioned that Oba Femi has the potential to become a huge box-office attraction for the company due to his impressive look. However, Mantell also noted that the young star still needs time to develop and hone his skills. While watching Oba Femi’s match against Cody Rhodes, Mantell admitted that nothing particularly stood out to him, suggesting that there is room for improvement in the star’s performance.
In a quote from the episode, Mantell said, “Well, he has the look. I think he has the interview if they give him some good stuff. Okay, my first look at him talking, the jury is still out on my opinion of him. I’ve seen the name, but I haven’t seen him work that much. I saw a little bit of what he did in the match, but there’s nothing that I can say that jumped out at me.”
WWE further fueled speculation about Oba Femi’s future by airing a hype package for the current NXT Champion during a recent episode of SmackDown. This led to rumors that Oba Femi may soon be making his way to the blue brand, following his impressive performance against Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
In the matchup, Oba Femi showcased his strength and skills as he went head-to-head with Cody Rhodes, putting on a memorable show for the WWE Universe. The encounter was interrupted by Drew McIntyre, leaving the match without a conclusive end. Despite this, Oba Femi’s presence and performance left a lasting impact on fans and critics alike.
As Oba Femi continues to make waves in the wrestling world, fans can expect to see more of the talented star on WWE programming in the near future. With his potential to become a major attraction for the company, Oba Femi’s journey in the world of professional wrestling is definitely one to watch.
