A couple of weeks ago, Brock Lesnar found himself unnaturally manhandled during an appearance on WWE Raw.

Lesnar had arrived at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, to respond to Seth Rollins’ attack on his advocate, Paul Heyman. However, he was confronted by ‘The Ruler’ Oba Femi, who lifted him and dropped him with his Fall From Grace finisher.

A similar confrontation occurred between the two wrestlers earlier this week in Boston. While Lesnar tried to hit an F5 on Femi, the 27-year-old star got away from his clutches and clotheslined him over the top rope.

Both Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi are scheduled to face each other in a singles match at WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, in April.

Brock Lesnar Recalls Loss To Former WWE Star

In a rare sit-down interview with Barstool Sports, Brock Lesnar spoke about his life as a sports entertainer, as well as out of it.

When asked if he was ever scared of facing an opponent, The Beast Incarnate claimed that he never felt scared of anyone, but did feel threatened by former MMA fighter and WWE star Cain Velasquez.

I wasn’t never really scared of anybody, but I felt threatened. You know what I mean? There’s certain threats. You can’t go in there thinking with a scared mindset, and you don’t go in the cage fighting angry either. It’s a competition. And if you keep that mentality with it and you fight with your emotions, you’re probably going to lose because you’re going to do things that you shouldn’t be doing.  But some of the fights—Cain Velasquez, he handed me my a** in Anaheim.

Lesnar referenced his UFC 121 fight against Velasquez, where he was beaten in the first round. They briefly renewed their feud in WWE, even having a match at the 2019 Crown Jewel event, where Lesnar got the win.
