Oba Femi rejects Paul Heyman's offer in WWE

WWE superstar Oba Femi has officially declined an offer from Paul Heyman to become his next client. Following Femi’s victory over Bronson Reed at Money in the Bank, Heyman approached him on RAW, but Femi rejected the proposal, stating he is an ‘Oba Femi Guy’ rather than a mouthpiece-led performer like Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar.

While Femi’s post-match comments suggested an imminent challenge to World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, reports indicate that a title match is currently being planned for WrestleMania rather than upcoming events like Survivor Series. Femi’s rejection of Heyman has led to speculation regarding which WWE star might next align with the veteran manager, with names such as LA Knight and Drew McIntyre being discussed as potential candidates.

Separately, Paul Heyman has responded to criticisms from ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, who suggested Heyman had become ‘soft’ in his recent role. Heyman dismissed the claims via social media, targeting Smith’s own credibility in the exchange.
