A WWE Hall of Famer is praising Brock Lesnar after a recent performance on Raw.

When WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman brought out Brock Lesnar on the March 16th episode of Raw to confront Seth Rollins, it looked like Lesnar would be facing Rollins at WrestleMania 42.

That Lesnar-Rollins confrontation was a tease. The former 2-time NXT Champion Oba Femi made his entrance, and he got into the ring with Lesnar. After Lesnar turned to face Rollins, Brock looked back at Femi, and “The Ruler” Femi was ready to plant Lesnar with a Fall from Grace sitout Powerbomb to thunderous applause.

After Femi dropped Lesnar with the impressive Fall From Grace, eagle-eyed wrestling fans pointed out that while Lesnar was on the ground, he told Femi to put his foot on Lesnar’s chest while Femi was pointing at the WrestleMania sign. It was Lesnar’s way of giving his WrestleMania opponent the spotlight.

Later on Raw, it became official: The 48-year-old WWE legend Brock Lesnar will face the rising star, 27-year-old Oba Femi, at WrestleMania 42 in what will likely be one of the most anticipated matches at the event.

Brock Lesnar Praised For Giving Oba Femi A Lot During WWE Raw Segment

Kevin Nash is a 2-time WWE Hall of Famer who had a lot of good things to say about what Brock Lesnar did with Oba Femi on Raw because Lesnar made Femi look like a big star in their segment. Nash said on his Kliq This podcast that Lesnar was the most giving wrestler while also using some colorful language, of course.

“Brock, who’s the most giving motherf***er on the planet. He’s just not a f***ing mark. There’s nothing about that guy that’s a f***ing mark. I guess when you’re one of the baddest motherf***ers on earth, [you have nothing to prove].”

Nash went on to say that he wants to see Femi beat a smaller wrestler to gain momentum on the road to WrestleMania.

“Either way it’s going to f***ing sell, though. If I’m Brock Lesnar and I have to make somebody to make them worthy of a WrestleMania match and I’m probably going to get a $2.5-3 million payday out of it, I’m pretty sure I’m making somebody.”
