Brock Lesnar's challenge for a match at WrestleMania 42 was accepted by Oba Femi on the latest episode of WWE Raw. Femi made a surprise appearance and took out Lesnar with his signature "Fall From Grace" move, then stood over Lesnar and pointed to the WrestleMania sign, indicating that the two will likely face off at the biggest event of the year.
Why it matters
This sets up a potential clash between two of WWE's top big men, with the younger and rising star Oba Femi looking to take down the established veteran Brock Lesnar at the company's marquee event. It also continues the ongoing storyline between Lesnar and Seth Rollins, who has history with "The Beast" at WrestleMania.
The details
On the latest episode of WWE Raw, Seth Rollins made his way to the ring with a group of masked men. Paul Heyman then brought out Brock Lesnar, who proceeded to take out the masked men. Before Lesnar and Rollins could get physical, Oba Femi's music hit and he made a surprise appearance, taking out Lesnar with his "Fall From Grace" move and standing over him while pointing to the WrestleMania sign.
