Oba Femi net worth: A look at the rising Raw superstar’s career earnings and WWE contract

Oba Femi has been on a fast, stunning, and lucrative track from college athletics to TV with WWE. The powerhouse, who was born in Nigeria and goes by the real name Isaac Odugbesan, made his way to pro wrestling via WWE's Next In Line program and quickly took NXT by storm as its most destructive force. His brute strength, magnetic personality, and great ring work led him to championships and gave him a reputation as one of the company’s young stars.

As with most of the WWE stars in developing roles, the details surrounding Femi’s pay are not public. WWE does not disclose contract figures, especially for talent less than a year into a deal. Still, wrestling insiders and analysts have come up with rough estimates, referencing standard developmental contracts and bonus structures, as well as other ways for FCW wrestlers to make money, such as merchandise sales, for example, and appearances at live events.

Oba Femi’s estimated net worth and income sources

Oba Femi is estimated to have a net worth between $200,000 and $500,000 as of now. It's still new territory for a guy who's spent most of his career in NXT, but is finally getting a little more exposure on the main roster, so those numbers are just average. His earnings through salary, performance bonuses, and promotional opportunities are tied to WWE programming.


Femi likely had a run of type of a standard developmental contract money when he was in NXT. Sources in the wrestling world state that the majority of those in NXT earn a base salary between $50,000 and $100,000 per annum, depending on experience and where they are placed on the card. Performers also earn extra income through match bonuses, special event payouts, and merchandise sales. The more prominent and popular Femi has received on Raw, the more he is able to earn, with regular Raw appearances hopefully coming soon.

What Oba Femi’s WWE contract probably looks like

The specific terms of Oba Femi's WWE deal have not been disclosed, but the arrangement is presumably similar to those of other athletes who have come into the company through the promotion's NIL route. These deals are typically developmental deals that contain a lot of training at the Performance Centre, working NXT television tapings, and setting up a character for long-term success.

Those contracts usually consist of a baseline salary guarantee, plus bonuses for championships, big shows, and increased television exposure. When a performer transitions to the Raw or SmackDown roster full-time, their pay usually goes up significantly. Higher merchandise royalties, global tour payments, and sponsorships are also available to main roster stars and can add to their annual earnings.
