Oba Femi has named the fellow WWE main roster star he views as a mentor that he always turns to for advice.
Former two-time NXT Champion Oba Femi made his official debut on the WWE main roster back in January, with his first appearance coming in the Royal Rumble match.
With Oba Femi still new to the WWE main roster, he continues to seek advice from veteran names, including one current WWE star he has named as his mentor.
Speaking to TV Insider, Oba named Ivar of the War Raiders as a mentor that he always goes to, as well as Matt Bloom from the WWE Performance Center.
He said:
“I always have my mentors I go to like my Ivar’s and my Coach [Matt] Bloom’s, so they have always been there for me. Nobody on the road though.”
Oba Femi has appeared on both Raw and SmackDown since his WWE main roster call up, with both Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis vying for the Ruler’s services as a free agent over the past two months.
