A new challenge has emerged for Brock Lesnar from the current NXT roster. Oba Femi, the reigning NXT Champion, has expressed interest in squaring off against the former Universal Champion, describing the potential match as something that would draw significant audience attention.
During an appearance on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, Femi elaborated on his vision for the potential showdown, calling it “carnage”.
It’s something that needs to be seen because it can’t be explained in words. Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar sells out tickets, sells out arenas and would be incredible.
Lesnar has remained absent from WWE programming since SummerSlam 2023, following his connection to the legal proceedings involving Vince McMahon. His only public appearance came at a Texas restaurant where he responded to questions about a potential return with a noncommittal “We’ll see”.
While fan interest in this dream match continues to build, any potential confrontation hinges on the resolution of Lesnar’s legal situation. Meanwhile, Femi continues to build his credentials in NXT, having previously held the North American Championship before capturing the brand’s top prize.
The dominant champion’s challenge adds another name to the list of potential opponents for Lesnar’s eventual WWE return, whenever that might materialize.
