The upcoming clash between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi is shaping up to be one of the most physical and highly anticipated heavyweight wars in recent WWE history. Here is a breakdown of the match, the storyline, and what to expect:
​Match Status
​The bout is officially confirmed and is scheduled to open WrestleMania 42 – Night Two on Sunday, April 19, 2026.
​The Competitors
​Brock Lesnar ("The Beast Incarnate"): The veteran powerhouse, famous for his unrivaled intensity, terrifying strength, and taking opponents to "Suplex City."
​Oba Femi ("The Ruler"): The massive, rapidly rising superstar who has quickly made a name for himself with his raw power and sheer dominance.
​The Storyline & Build-Up
​The feud leading into WrestleMania has been explosive, driven by a series of shocking moments on Monday Night RAW:
​The Interception: The rivalry began when Lesnar returned to RAW seeking payback against Seth "Freakin" Rollins, who had recently put Paul Heyman in the hospital. Instead of getting Rollins, Lesnar was interrupted by Oba Femi. Taking advantage of a distraction from Rollins, Femi hoisted Lesnar up and shockingly crushed him with his devastating finisher, the Fall from Grace.
​A Statement Made: A few weeks later, despite Paul Heyman's guarantee that Femi would never physically dominate Lesnar again, "The Ruler" managed to level The Beast for a second time, proving that he was completely unfazed by Lesnar's legendary aura.
​Contract Signing Chaos: On the April 6, 2026, episode of RAW, their official WrestleMania contract signing—overseen by Triple H—completely broke down. The formal segment instantly devolved into a massive pull-apart brawl. Security and WWE officials struggled to contain the two juggernauts as they tore the ring apart, leaving the arena in a state of total carnage.
​The Match Dynamic
​Fans and analysts are not expecting a technical wrestling clinic; they are expecting an absolute car crash of a match. It is incredibly rare for Brock Lesnar to face an opponent who can legitimately match his sheer size, power, and explosiveness. WWE has strategically positioned this as the opener for WrestleMania Sunday to serve as a high-octane spectacle, designed to inject massive energy into the Allegiant Stadium crowd right from the start.

03:55Oma Femi!
03:59How good is that Oma struck?
04:01Oh no, this is not what Johnny wrestling meant.
04:05Quick Johnny, go comatose again while you still can!
04:15The ruler in Portland.
04:22Well Johnny said he doesn't care who it is.
04:26You got Oma Femi.
04:30Well fair play to Johnny Wrestling, he's not backing down,
04:34but I don't think that's a smart move, Johnny.
04:37Well asked Kit Wilson and The Miz in recent weeks.
04:44Nice, Johnny.
04:46Shocked the world!
04:47Uh oh.
04:49Oh!
04:50One chop and he sends him down.
04:52Well that might have been as good as it gets for Johnny Gargano.
04:58Oh, the running uppercuts, here they come!
05:00There's no way back from this point.
05:03Oh!
05:03Oma Femi like a runaway train!
05:07Oma Femi!
05:09Look at the speed and power!
05:12Is he gonna stop?
05:13Well this is Candice LeRae's fault!
05:16Johnny just wanted to sleep!
05:18Oh no!
05:20Here it comes!
05:21The puff puff toss!
05:30Johnny was so inspired moments ago.
05:33And now, a fall from grace!
05:39Two, three, four!
05:43Here is your winner, Oma Femi!
05:56OVC!
06:00OVC!
06:04What?
06:25Corry, it seems appropriate today of all days, but, oh, hell, yeah.
06:31All the femi is here.
06:40No one, no one, no one, no one.
06:54No one, no one, no one, no one.
06:59That's who you are.
07:03No one, no one.
07:05No more! No more!
07:45No more! No more!
08:20Ova! Ova's got Brock! Ova's got Brock!
08:28The ruler just put down the beast!
08:35No more!
08:45Corey!
08:51I think Ova Femi may have just accepted Brock Lesnar's Wrestlemania Ultimate Challenge!
09:00You mean who the hell is this? A stomp!
09:06The last time we saw some dude in the hood, it was Austin Theory trying to join the Vision!
09:11Presumably that was orchestrated in favor of the Vision, this is the complete opposite.
09:16Is that a copycat? Who the hell is that guy?
09:18Yeah, well right now, Braun Bricker has no idea where he is, and Ova Femi, the ruler,
09:22is gonna eliminate Bricker from the rumble!
09:29Rusev fears nobody nice!
09:32And another one by Rusev, and Ova still on his feet!
09:35Well you know it's immediately everyone's going for Ova Femi because they know what a threat this guy is!
09:41And Rey Mysterio drops Rusev!
09:45And now Rey will connect with a 619!
09:49And the big stuff early is Rey Mysterio, and that's a dangerous place to be for-
09:53Oh!
09:54Okay that's the second elimination of the night for Ova Femi!
09:57Solo Sokola with a kick!
10:00Dangerous times there for Rey Mysterio, but Ova Femi distracting Solo for long and off!
10:06Well he was looking for the Samoan Spike, ran into a backbreaker!
10:09And now Ova Femi sends Solo Sokola over the top for elimination number 3 by Ova!
10:17Mysterio with a 619!
10:19So impressive after so many years!
10:22Oh god, the luck in the eye of Ova Femi after a 619!
10:26That's not supposed to be the reaction!
10:29Ova Femi just more angry than I've ever seen!
10:33And Mysterio over the top, hanging on!
10:35Not eliminated yet!
10:37Well now he will be!
10:39Four eliminations for Femi!
10:42Cardona has some tricks!
10:44He's been around the block, he's battle hardened!
10:47And now the boot to the face!
10:49Gotta keep moving with Ova Femi!
10:51Don't trade with him!
10:52Don't get caught close, cause this will happen!
10:54Matt went for the Rough Rider!
10:56And the fall from grace by Femi!
10:59That is the highest powerbomb Matt Cardona has experienced in his 20 plus year career!
11:07And it might signal the death knell for this Royal Rumble!
11:10Elimination number 5 for Ova Femi!
11:16Here we go!
11:17And Rusev and Ova Femi!
11:21Delivering clothesline after clothesline to one another!
11:23And this is the start of the fight that you described it Corey!
11:26Gonna be old school!
11:28Throwing haymakers!
11:30They could get downright primal!
11:32Two huge men as Ova Femi runs into a knee by Rusev!
11:36And another one!
11:37Rusev a man that shows no fear no matter who he's in the ring against!
11:43Throwing heavy hands!
11:46Here's Rusev who gets-
11:47Spine first into the buckle!
11:50And Ova Femi with a running uppercut!
11:52Femi of course burst on the scene in the main roster back at Saturday night's main event
11:57when he had that great matchup with Cody Rhodes.
12:00Rusev runs into a boot by Femi!
12:05These two dudes just unloading heavy artillery off the opening bell!
12:09And Rusev, look at the eyes of Ova Femi Cole!
12:14That is a scary son of a gun!
12:17I was thinking of another word, but I get it.
12:20Now Rusev thrusts right to the throat.
12:22Now is Ova Femi backing up a bit.
12:27Rusev, driven it on a stepped shoulder first by Femi.
12:30This is unfamiliar territory for Rusev who is not used to being manhandled by anybody.
12:39And Femi sends Rusev back into the ring to break up the count.
12:46Wow!
12:47And Rusev driving Femi now to the floor.
12:49Come on, Rusev!
12:51Let's go!
12:52Big heavy rights unloading again.
12:57Look at the power of Femi!
12:59Uh-oh, uh-oh!
13:00And Rusev able to send Femi into the ring post.
13:04The veteran instincts of Rusev.
13:05That backfired for Ova.
13:06Look out!
13:07And now the spin kick!
13:16And Rusev quickly back into the ring.
13:21And Femi in a bit of trouble here now.
13:23That was absolutely terrifying agility for a man the size of Rusev,
13:27who continues to chop down the big redwood.
13:31And now Femi though.
13:35Up goes Rusev, lands on his feet.
13:39Mosca!
13:40It only staggered Femi.
13:46Femi exploded out of the corner.
13:52And tossing Rusev across the ring leg is lightweight.
13:56A lot bigger than a shot put right there.
14:00Incredible power.
14:02Here it comes.
14:04Fall from Bryce.
14:06One, two, three.
14:08How impressive is Ova Femi?
14:11Here is your winner, Ova Femi!
14:19Nine things I hate about men.
14:24I hate how they think being loud means they're strong.
14:29I hate how they think they are never wrong.
14:33Toxic!
14:35I hate how they act with no shame or regrets.
14:40Always comparing the size of their beef bayonets.
14:44Toxic!
14:46Maybe that one needs some work, but...
14:50I hate how they strut like a self-made king.
14:54I hate every time they step in this ring.
15:00Do I have to?
15:02Do I have to?
15:04Finish!
15:07I hate every time.
15:09I hate their brand of masculinity.
15:17I hate the ruler over your toxicity.
15:24How's your teddy bear now?
15:29Kid's about to find out.
15:31I thought the pen was mightier than the sword.
15:34Well, that's clearly nonsense.
15:37Oh, that big running uppercut.
15:40And how about another with all that size and power coming from behind it.
15:45Ooh.
15:46An attempted offense from Kit Wilson.
15:48Just bouncing off Ova Femi.
15:51Oh, no!
15:53Just tosses him halfway across the ring.
16:00And as Kit knows all too well.
16:04Pull from Grace.
16:08One, two, three!
16:12Here is your winner, Ova Femi!
16:19The most desired-
16:21I'm a feminist, so let me tell you, you are the problem.
16:25You are toxic!
16:31Ova Femi.
16:33This isn't time to panic.
16:35Panicking is a toxic throw.
16:37I take it back, it is time to panic.
16:40There's a lot of panic.
16:42The ring is literally shifting about six inches with each one of those.
16:50He just tossed him.
16:51It's a scene of devastation in the ring.
16:55He was just airborne.
16:58How about a fall from Grace too?
17:02Why not?
17:04One, two, three!
17:13Here is your winner, Ova Femi!
17:20Dwayne, that ain't toxic.
17:22Roach bait's toxic.
17:23Paint thinner's toxic.
17:25Mercury's toxic.
17:26That's just a red blooded ruler.
17:30I'm gonna teach you the lesson on how to be the bigger man and walk away.
17:39Oh!
17:42Oh, you've done it now, Miz.
17:44Yeah, how's that zone-in working out?
17:47Oh, that is no way to treat this generation's Undertaker, The Miz.
17:53That is true.
17:55Ova Femi.
17:56Miz is now fighting for his life, but make no mistake, Miz has got it done in the past.
18:02And may well pull off the all-time shot.
18:04Oh, no, he won't.
18:05I forgot I was saying anything.
18:07That body shot, and now here come, the running elbows with 310 pounds of explosive force.
18:15Oh, Miz moves.
18:17Nice, Miz.
18:18Oh, skull-crushing finale.
18:19Oh, locked up by Ova.
18:22One, two, three, four!
18:26Oh, and a toss!
18:30It is just so easy for this freak of nature with unlimited power!
18:36Ova!
18:36And the fall from grace!
18:40One, two, three!
18:46Here is your winner, Ova Femi!
