During a recent episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, WWE legend Booker T discussed the possibility of Oba Femi unexpectedly eliminating Brock Lesnar in the upcoming Royal Rumble match. Oba Femi is confirmed to be among the entrants, making this scenario a popular topic among wrestling fans. Booker T explored how this upset could lead to a high-profile WrestleMania showdown between the two competitors.
Booker T Reflects on the Matchup Concept
Booker T expressed cautious optimism about the idea, remarking on Brock Lesnar’s limited remaining time in wrestling. He emphasized the need to act decisively if such a storyline were to unfold:
“I mean, I don’t want to book the show or anything like that. But I can see something like that perhaps happening, because Brock Lester has a limited amount of time left in this business. If you’re going to do something like that, you got to kind of pull the trigger early on it.”

Lesnar as a Mentor and Catalyst for Oba Femi’s Growth
Beyond the possibility of a surprise elimination, Booker T highlighted Brock Lesnar’s potential role as a mentor to Oba Femi. He believes Lesnar could teach Femi important lessons about maintaining a strong character and managing the business side of professional wrestling. According to Booker T, this mentorship could benefit Femi significantly:
“I really think that Brock Lesnar is someone that could actually teach Oba Femi a few tricks of the game. Oba’s going to need somebody like Brock Lesnar to show him a couple of do’s and don’ts when you’re in that position. When you’re trying to keep your character big, as Brock Lesnar has done throughout his whole career.”

“I don’t think anybody can talk to Oba Femi better than a guy like Brock Lesnar as far as that goes. As well as just handling business at the same time. So I would love to see someone like Oba in that position, just because I know what kind of networking it would be for him. What kind of knowledge he could take away from him a match like that. So I would love to see him in a situation like that.”

Potential Impact of a Lesnar-Femi Encounter
The prospect of Oba Femi eliminating Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble carries significant weight, as it could propel Femi toward a major WrestleMania opportunity and accelerate his rise in WWE. For Lesnar, the match would reinforce his role as both a competitor and a guide for emerging talent, reflecting his influence on the locker room. This storyline could create a memorable moment while helping shape Oba Femi’s career trajectory in the coming months.
