Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar have engaged in violent brawls leading up to WrestleMania 42, with Femi proving capable of holding his own against Lesnar, known as 'The Beast' and a once-in-wrestling talent, according to Cena's assessment. Cena, hosting an upcoming show, shared his views in a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, as first reported by Fightful. He emphasized that unlike others, Femi enters the matchup without underdog status, setting up a rare confrontation of equals. “I think Brock Lesnar is a once in a genre talent... Oba Femi is Brock Lesnar’s even match, and I think that’s what’s exciting about that matchup. Everyone goes into a match with Brock Lesnar an underdog, except Oba Femi,” Cena said. He highlighted their shared traits as big, agile athletes, shouting out Femi's courage to 'charge the hill' against Lesnar—a challenge that even gave Cena pause in past encounters. Cena noted that Lesnar has likely never faced such confident opposition before, adding intrigue to the bout where 'two tanks square off.' The praise underscores Femi's rising profile in WWE, positioning him as a genuine threat to one of wrestling's most dominant forces.
