Was Oba Femi the right choice to beat Brock Lesnar in his final match after he teased WWE retirement at WrestleMania 42?

WrestleMania Sunday was opened with a blockbuster collision between Brock Lesnar, with Paul Heyman, and the new rising star of WWE, Oba Femi. The colossal showdown between them saw Femi put down The Beast in shocking fashion and score one of the biggest victories of his career. Following that, Lesnar took off his boots and gloves and left them in the ring. He then shared an emotional moment with Paul Heyman, and seemingly hinted at his in-ring retirement.

Was Oba Femi defeating Brock Lesnar the right call after he teased retirement at WrestleMania 42?

With Brock Lesnar teasing his retirement from WWE, it would mean that Oba Femi was possibly his last ever opponent, leading to a debate about whether he was the right person to defeat him. In our opinion, WWE took the right decision to book Femi to win at WrestleMania 42 Night 2. He is arguably one of the most dominant WWE superstars today and had one of the most incredible runs in NXT. Moreover, he is very over with the fans when he struts down the ring, which has become his signature.

Furthermore, The Ruler was built super strong on the road to WrestleMania 42 by overpowering The Beast at every step of the way. At the same time, his defeat of Lesnar at a grand stage like WrestleMania has given a huge boost to his already thriving run on the main roster, which began over two months ago. So, it can be said that Femi was the right choice to defeat Lesnar in his supposed last match, with The Beast passing the torch to an equally dominant competitor.

Who has Oba Femi targeted after WrestleMania 42?

At the WrestleMania 42 post-show, Oba Femi was asked about his plans after defeating Brock Lesnar. The Ruler made a bold statement by calling out the new World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns, who defeated CM Punk to win the title in the main event. The OTC came on the show later on and said that he would see him throughout the summer to see if he is worthy of competing against him. While it is not confirmed as of now, it will surely be interesting to see Oba square off against Reigns after his exceptional win at WrestleMania 42.
