Brock Lesnar had issued an open challenge for WrestleMania 42, and finally, it has been accepted.

On the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, Paul Heyman arrived with The Beast to take down Seth Rollins. In fact, it seemed as though The Visionary was accepting Lesnar’s open challenge.

However, as Lesnar stepped in the ring with Rollins, the lights went out, and the real opponent arrived.

Oba Femi arrived in the ring and took out The Beast. Given that Femi is a rising star, he needed to look dominant. He had Lesnar pinned to the ring floor with his foot after hitting The Beast with a massive Powerbomb.

Following that, Femi pointed to the WrestleMania sign, confirming his status for The Show of Shows.

Triple H took to social media to issue a statement about the Battle of Behemoths.
