11 WrestleMania 42 Card Predictions After WWE Royal Rumble 2026
6. Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi
If pressed for an answer, most would surely say that Gunther should be Brock Lesnar's rival in Las Vegas. That's a match the Austrian wrestling machine has wanted for years now. In fact, scratch that, the one time WALTER (all caps and all chops) has craved stepping foot in the ring with Brock for decades.
It's the one match he covets most of all, and that's coming from a guy who has retired Goldberg, John Cena and (apparently) AJ Styles in less than a full calendar year. Get this: Gunther sent all 3 of those legends packing in 203 days. That, dear fellow fans, is absolutely insane.
Threatening to put Lesnar on the list next could be a worthy pursuit for the ex-Imperium leader, but somebody else stepped up to the plate during the Royal Rumble and showed that he's a force to be reckoned with too. Oba Femi is one of the most impressive physical specimens of his generation - he looked every bit the bonafide star over in Saudi Arabia.
WWE should go full steam ahead on Oba's push between now and WrestleMania. Have him run the gauntlet by defeating everybody in his path, including some top stars on Raw or SmackDown. That'll ready him for Brock.
Predicted Winner: Oba Femi. It just has to be. What would Lesnar gain from beating him? Meanwhile, Oba could lose a hell of a lot by doing the job to Brock. If Triple H is serious about pushing fresh faces to the top of the mountain, then Femi needs to send Lesnar tumbling back down it and back to his farm in South Dakota, Canada, the moon or wherever he lives.
