The anticipated match between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi is not guaranteed to happen at WrestleMania 42, scheduled for April 18-19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite a prominent confrontation between the two during the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble, sources reveal that plans for their singles bout have yet to be finalized.
Details on Match Confirmation
According to Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, the Lesnar-Femi clash is still possible but far from certain for the WrestleMania 42 lineup. Meltzer clarified the situation by stating,
“That’s not 100 percent by the way…it could happen. I’m not saying it’s not happening. I’m just saying that I was told this one’s not 100 per cent, and that was the Lesnar and Oba Femi match,”
emphasizing the uncertainty surrounding the matchup.
Interaction at the Royal Rumble Event
The buzz around a potential Lesnar vs. Femi bout originates from their intense face-off during the Royal Rumble on Saturday. Lesnar took control by delivering a German suplex to Femi before eliminating him from the match. Femi’s impressive run began as the first entrant and lasted 39 minutes, while Lesnar himself was eliminated soon after through the combined efforts of Cody Rhodes and LA Knight.
WrestleMania 42 Developments and Other Matches
As the WrestleMania 42 card begins to take shape, one of the main event matches has been confirmed: Roman Reigns, having won the Royal Rumble, has chosen CM Punk as his challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship. The uncertainty around the Lesnar-Femi confrontation adds intensity to the evolving storyline at the biggest wrestling event of the year in Nevada.
The lack of confirmation for this blockbuster match leaves fans eagerly waiting for official announcements as WrestleMania 42 approaches, maintaining high anticipation in the wrestling community.
