WWE Confirms Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi for WrestleMania 42 After Viral Raw Showdown

The booking followed an opening‑segment powerbomb that many in wrestling media say markedly elevated Femi’s standing on the main roster.

Overview

  • On March 16 in San Antonio, Oba Femi floored Brock Lesnar with a Fall From Grace powerbomb on Raw, then stood on his chest and pointed to the WrestleMania sign.
  • WWE later aired a graphic during the broadcast confirming Lesnar vs. Femi for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas next month.
  • The matchup follows Lesnar and Paul Heyman issuing an open challenge on the Feb. 23 edition of Raw to determine Lesnar’s WrestleMania opponent.
  • Reaction from commentators and former talent, including Bully Ray, lauded the segment as a breakout moment for Femi and credited Lesnar for elevating him.
  • Unverified lip‑reading on social media suggests Lesnar asked Femi to stand on his chest, and some outlets speculate the match format could still change, but neither has been confirmed.
