WWE is currently considering a possible match between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, stemming from internal talks reported by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The idea has gained momentum following the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble, where the two briefly confronted each other before Femi was eliminated by Lesnar, although no official decision has been made.
Possible Outcomes and WWE’s Strategic Intentions
Meltzer shared that if the match is approved, the likely result would favor Oba Femi, helping him secure a more prominent role on WWE’s main roster consistent with his strong performance as NXT Champion. However, the decision depends largely on WWE’s broader plans for Lesnar, as a defeat could diminish Lesnar’s standing as a leading figure in the promotion.
Context From the 2026 Royal Rumble and Other Potential Matchups
The Royal Rumble also saw no interaction between Lesnar and GUNTHER, who entered last after Lesnar’s elimination. This late entry from GUNTHER has dampened immediate speculation about a potential Lesnar-GUNTHER showdown, leaving focus on the possible Lesnar-Femi match.
