Oba Femi stuns Brock Lesnar on WrestleMania debut

Nigerian professional wrestler Oba Femi delivered a stunning performance on his WrestleMania debut, defeating 10-time WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in under five minutes.

The high-profile clash at WrestleMania 42 ended dramatically as the 27-year-old overpowered the veteran in what has quickly become one of the most talked-about moments of the event.

Lesnar, known for his dominance in the ring, started strongly and briefly took control with a series of powerful moves. However, Femi weathered the early pressure and turned the tide with an explosive response.

Despite Lesnar delivering his signature F5, Femi bounced back almost immediately, hitting a chokeslam before sealing victory with his “Fall From Grace” sit-out powerbomb for the pinfall.

In a moment that has fueled speculation about his future, Lesnar removed his wrestling gear and left it in the ring after the match — a symbolic gesture often associated with retirement in professional wrestling.

Femi, also known as “The Ruler,” has enjoyed a rapid rise in WWE, spending just three months on the main roster after a successful run in NXT, where he held championship titles and won major tournaments.

Born in Lagos, the former shot put athlete signed with WWE in 2021 and has since developed into one of the company’s brightest rising stars.

Following his victory, Femi sent a bold message to Roman Reigns, hinting at a potential title challenge later in the year, drawing a strong reaction from fans.
