Brock Lesnar Won’t Fight Ex-Champion At WWE WrestleMania 42
Brock Lesnar’s role at WrestleMania is still unclear.
Lesnar, who returned to the ring at the Royal Rumble, faced off against young star and former NXT Champion Oba Femi.
As the two titans stood face-to-face in the ring, many fans and critics speculated the beginning of a feud that would lead to a match at WrestleMania 42.
This was debunked, however, when a popular wrestling page on X posted the question of Lesnar vs Femi and whether it was still happening, and a verified account, Ibou, of self-made, simply answered “No.”

Brock Lesnar May Face Former US Champion At WrestleMania 42
Although Lesnar’s Mania match status will only be cleared up after his pre-announced appearance on next week’s Raw, there have been rumours that his opponent could be former United States Champion, LA Knight.
Knight and Cody Rhodes both made a joint effort to eliminate The Beast Incarnate from the Rumble match and succeeded.
Even though Knight is currently feuding with The Vision on Raw, there have been reports that say that WWE has been planning this bout between him and Lesnar internally.
