The contract signing for Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42 took an unexpected activate this week’s episode of WWE RAW, setting the stage not just for his showdown with Brock Lesnar, but in addition hinting at a possible alliance that might shape his future.
Femi made his approach to the ring and signed the contract, clearly focused on the fight ahead. But before he could fully speak his mind, Paul Heyman appeared on the stage.
Heyman praised Femi as considered one of the fastest-rising stars he’s ever seen, but quickly issued a warning. He stressed that momentum alone wouldn’t be enough against Lesnar, suggesting that the rising star might be stopped cold by an F-5 at WrestleMania.
Heyman then offered Femi a future under his guidance — but only after Lesnar defeats him.
Femi didn’t hesitate to shut it down. Rejecting the offer outright, he made it clear that he has no intention of needing help after WrestleMania 42. As a substitute, he doubled down on his belief that Lesnar might be beaten — and implied that even Heyman knows it. He said,
“The physical scars will heal … however the emotional wounds when your Beast loses at WrestleMania will last ceaselessly.”
