The new character is receiving much appreciation from the WWE Universe. Recently, Bashir Ahmad, the Personal Assistant to the President of Nigeria acknowledged and endorsed Crews.

Ahmad’s tweet acknowledged Crews as “Naija Boy” with a fist emoji and a Nigerian Flag. This could be WWE’s way of gaining new fanbase from Nigeria. This tweet also helps Crews in establishing himself as a credible Superstar of African descent.
