Speculation is rife that Oba Femi will face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, and Femi is hopeful that the match happens. A potential match between Femi and Lesnar got new life after their moment in the WWE Royal Rumble, which ended with Femi’s elimination from the match.

Lesnar has an open challenge for someone to face him at WrestleMania 42, and many fans are hoping to see Femi answer the challenge. The Ruler spoke with Denise Salcedo promoting WWE 2K26 and was asked about the possible match. You can see the highlights below:

On a Possible Match With Lesnar:

“What’s the tea? I mean, it’s it’s highly requested right now. The demand is here, the demand is here. All we have to do is put it out there. So, hopefully it happens. Even if it’s not this year, when it does happen we know it’s going to be phenomenal.”

On What It Would Mean To Him To Face Lesnar:

“I mean, I don’t know if it’s going to be his last one. I don’t know how much he has left in the tank, but I know he has one more for Oba Femi for sure. It’s going to mean a lot to me. I grew up watching him. Yeah, I wouldn’t call him like a role model of mine or anything like that, but he’s a very big inspiration behind my character.

“But yeah, Brock means a lot to the industry, and it is going to mean a lot to me when I get to face him.”
