WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reported that their sources stated that Femi will be getting called up to WWE’s RAW brand following his debut vignettes appearing on both RAW and SmackDown shows in recent weeks.
It was reported that those spoken to stated that WWE officials have plans for Femi to be positioned near the top of the card on the RAW roster.
