Brock Lesnar Just Got MANHANDLED On Raw, WrestleMania 42 Match Set (WWE News)
It's official: Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi at WWE WrestleMania 42.
After plenty of speculation, it's official: Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi at WWE WrestleMania 42.
Last night's Raw saw Seth Rollins and his masked men head to the ring, where the Visionary promised that anybody associated with Paul Heyman was on his hit list. That brought out Heyman, who eventually brought out Brock Lesnar. After the Beast had destroyed Rollins' goons and had a face-to-face with Seth, Oba Femi's music hit.
As Seth exited that ring, that was enough of a distraction to allow Oba to hit his Fall from Grace powerbomb on Lesnar, leaving the 10-time WWE World Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion laid out, as Femi pointed to the WrestleMania sign.
Later in the night, it was announced that Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi had been made official for this year's Showcase of the Immortals.
Of course, Lesnar and Femi had previously shared the ring in the men's Royal Rumble earlier this year, with Brock eliminating Oba after the Ruler had put in an impressive 39-minute stint that included five eliminations.
That now means that WrestleMania 42 has five matches confirmed as of this writing, with CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns, Stephanie Vaquer defending the Women's World Championship against Liv Morgan, Jade Cargill defending the WWE Women's Championship against Rhea Ripley, and Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Championship against Randy Orton.
Emanating from Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium, WrestleMania 42 takes place over the weekend of 18 and 19 April, with WWE running back-to-back 'Manias from that venue after WrestleMania 41 became the highest-grossing event in company history, bringing in a mammoth $66 million across its two days.
