Summary

Oba Femi did not waste time aiming high after his WrestleMania 42 win over Brock Lesnar.

During the WrestleMania 42 Sunday post-show, Femi appeared after beating Lesnar in under six minutes in the opening match and called out newly crowned WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns. Reigns later answered that challenge by praising Femi's big night, but making it clear he wants to see the NXT standout sustain that level over time before talking seriously about a match with the champion.

Reigns is also scheduled for the April 20 episode of Raw, where he is set to continue addressing what he called WWE's "part-time crap" during the same post-show appearance. That keeps his WrestleMania 42 comments about being around all summer tied directly to this latest exchange with Femi.

Quote from Roman Reigns

"Oba (Femi) had a big night."

As the crowd chanted "Oba's gonna kill you," Reigns added:

"Oba, you gonna kill me? See, you still seem a little fresh in this business. You did a big thing tonight. But I've done that many times, and I've done it with a title on the line. I did it, I took it, I defended it. Let's see how you do through the summer. Let's see how you do, and then we'll know if you can step up to the greatest of all time."

What Reigns' response means for Oba Femi

Reigns did not shut the door on Femi, but he framed the challenge as something Femi has to earn over the next several months. That gives WWE a simple direction to follow if it wants to keep heating Femi up after his Lesnar win, because Reigns has now publicly set a benchmark for him.

It also positions Femi as a name worth watching beyond one WrestleMania moment. If he keeps winning through the summer, this exchange gives WWE an easy way to circle back to a title match without it feeling like a sudden jump.
