Randy Orton Makes Prediction For Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar At WrestleMania 42

Randy Orton has his prediction for who will win between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42. The match between Femi and Lesnar is set to take place on night two and Orton spoke about that match in his Q&A at Culture Kings Las Vegas over the weekend.

Orton predicted a victory by Femi in the match, which will open tonight’s show and air on ESPN as well as ESPN Unlimited in the US (and Netflix overseas). Orton, who came away without a win in the main event of night one, also noted that Femi was one of the first names he thinks of as the future of WWE alongside the likes of Trick Williams, Ilja Dragunov, Je’Von Evans and more veteran members of the roster like Finn Balor.

On the Match:

“[Oba] can sure as hell can powerbomb a Beast, I’ve seen him do that. You know, if we were going to talk Oba [vs] Brock — now, Brock’s the man. I got a nice big scar on my head from Brock from about 10 years ago. But something tells me Oba is going to get the victory. I’m a big Oba fan.”

On Who Will Lead WWE In the Future:

“Oba is at the top of the list, Trick Williams is there. Ilya Dragunov, Je’Von Evans. Yeah, [Austin] Theory. There’s so many guys. But then there’s guys, Finn Balor to me is like — I’ve been in the ring with him but never had a singles match, let alone a feud. I would love to be able to say that I did by the end of my career. I think Finn Balor is an amazing talent. There’s nobody smoother than him.

“I don’t go down to NXT. I’m not as in touch with their television or their product. I just know when they send guys up our way, I see them. So when I think off the top of my head — Oba, Je’Von, Trick, Ilja, Dom of course. But there’s guys like Finn that have been around for a decade or so, and they’re just waiting for their chance.”
