Winner

Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 after surviving an F5 and winning with Fall From Grace.

Quote from Oba Femi

"It feels amazing. It’s one thing to tell everybody what you are, it’s another thing to show everybody what you are. I took 25 years of history. 25 years of The Beast, and I made it null, because I am who I say I am. I am the Ruler, the Destroyer, the Bringer of War, Oba Femi."

Femi later went on to say:

"You said I wasn’t fazed. It seemed that way, but at the end of the day, it’s Brock Lesnar. I was fazed. I understood how big the challenge was ahead of me, but you can’t show fear to someone like that. He feasts on stuff like that. Once he knows you are afraid, his confidence rises. I knew if I showed any fear, it’s over for me."

What Brock Lesnar's loss means for Oba Femi

Oba Femi now has the kind of WrestleMania moment that can follow him for years. Beating Brock Lesnar clean after absorbing an F5 gives him instant credibility well beyond a normal showcase win, especially because WWE positioned the match as a major attraction on the card.

Lesnar leaving his gloves and boots in the ring after the loss only adds more weight to the result. Even if nothing is formally confirmed yet, that visual makes Femi's victory feel even bigger coming out of WrestleMania 42.
