Brock Lesnar last competed at the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match.

Entering as the #22 participant, he secured 3 eliminations while lasting under six minutes. His elimination proved to be controversial, as many fans missed it due to it occurring during Jey Uso’s entrance.

Lesnar teased throwing hands with ‘The Ruler’ Oba Femi, who had entered as the #1 participant.

Both superstars came face-to-face multiple times until Femi missed a clothesline attempt, leading the Beast Incarnate to hit a German Suplex on him. Femi ultimately hit a clothesline, getting a huge pop from the Riyadh audience.

Even before the Rumble match, there were reports about Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi potentially getting a WWE WrestleMania 42 match. However, post-Rumble reports claim that it might happen at a future date.

Oba Femi Recalls Brock Lesnar Face-Off At WWE Royal Rumble

Oba Femi recently made a virtual appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, where he recalled his brief interaction with Brock Lesnar at WWE Royal Rumble.

Talking about the buzz it generated online, the 27-year-old claimed that fans could be looking at a big money fight between them down the line.

There so much nuance to that moment because there’s one thing to have buzz online, but a lot of times, buzz online doesn’t necessarily translate to what the casual crowd or the live crowd wants.

At the beginning stages of the face off, me and Brock know that based on our reaction, we both have the understanding that there might be something here. They’re getting louder, they’re getting louder, it’s rumbling, we have something.

In that moment, you have that mental agreement like yes, we know we have something so let’s not give away too much right now. I’m glad it got the reaction, I’m glad the IWC desires actually translates to the live crowd and what’s the casual fans want to see. That’s an amazing realization. We have something there, it’s a big money fight. We’re not going to blow our load on just a Rumble interaction, there’s so much more than can happen there. We’ll see down the line. [H/T: Fightful]
