Oba Femi has vowed to “end” Brock Lesnar at this weekend’s WWE WrestleMania 42 premium live event in Las Vegas.

Making his WrestleMania debut, Femi will face Lesnar in what will be Lesnar’s 13th Mania match.

Last week’s WWE Raw was set to host the contract signing for the match, but instead, Femi and Lesnar got into a brawl so the contract was never actually signed.

Tonight, the contract was signed as Lesnar opened up the show alongside Paul Heyman to give his signature, with Raw General Manager and WWE CCO Triple H in the ring.

Later in the show, Femi joined Pearce and HHH in the ring to sign his contract separately, which he did.

Paul Heyman then came out onto the stage, and while he started out confident in Brock Lesnar’s chances at Mania, he visibly became more and more fearful about Femi as Femi got on the mic himself.

Femi stated that while there’s 20 years of history that suggest Lesnar can’t be beaten, there are now four weeks of history that prove he can after Femi has gotten the better of him pretty much every time they’ve come head to head as of late.

Femi said that he is “the one” and has “always been the one” that can usurp the dominance Lesnar has had over WWE for all this time.

Who Is More Likely To Win – Brock Lesnar Or Oba Femi?

As things stand, a lot of logic would dictate that Oba Femi is more likely to beat Brock Lesnar right now, as Femi is clearly the new star on the rise in WWE and the company should want to make sure he hits the ground running with a win in his first major match.

However, with rumors that Lesnar could be retiring some time soon, there’s a possibility that WWE may want to hold off on having him lose a match until his eventual retirement bout, with the argument that it would mean more if he doesn’t lose before that time comes around.

Despite that being the case, this is an occasion where WWE really should just get fully behind Femi and have him score the win here.

With Femi specifically saying he’s going to “end” Lesnar at Mania, WWE could even possibly bring forward his retirement to this match, or at least have the Lesnar that shows up afterwards a very different one the man we’ve seen recently, just to drive home that Femi made good on his promise.
