An official announcement is pending ahead of the open challenge segment on Raw March 16.

Overview

  • PWInsider Elite reporting via Wrestling Inc says WWE’s current plan is Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42, though the match has not been announced.
  • Lesnar and Paul Heyman set an open challenge on Raw that is expected to serve as the mechanism for revealing his opponent.
  • Lesnar is advertised for Raw on March 16 ahead of WrestleMania in Las Vegas, and one report says the opponent decision will be finalized next week.
  • The prospective matchup traces back to Royal Rumble 2026, where Lesnar eliminated Femi during Femi’s main-roster debut.
