Although Brock Lesnar and Oba Fema collided in the Royal Rumble, it may not mean they end up working together at WrestleMania 42.
With just two months to go until WWE’s showpiece event of the year, Lesnar is looking for his first dance partner in two years after missing 40 and 41 due to his name popping up in the Janel Grant lawsuit.
Femi and Lesnar certainly looked like an exciting, fresh matchup when they went toe-to-toe in Saudi Arabia but according to Dave Meltzer, it’s not a forgone conclusion.
“That’s not 100% by the way,” Meltzer said. “It should be, I agree it should be but it’s not…I had asked about a bunch of matches for Mania and most of them were correct as it turned out, including Roman Reigns and [CM] Punk, although that was very clear obviously.
“But the one that I was told that’s not –I mean it could happen, I’m not saying it’s not happening, I’m just saying that I was told that this one’s not 100%, that was the Lesnar and Oba Femi match.”
It makes sense that the matchup would be pencilled in. Femi has just made the jump from NXT and WWE are incredibly high on his potential.
He has to be presented like a massive star from the jump and facing Lesnar at Mania should be the level you want to present him at.
For Lesnar’s part, he has faced pretty much every top guy in WWE today. He too could benefit from having a fresh dance partner and WWE can’t lose with the result.
If Lesnar beats Femi than the former NXT champion loses nothing in reality. Lesnar is a sure-fire Hall of Famer and is still a formidable beast.
Or, you have Femi beat him and he really arrives as a main eventer this year.
