A WWE Hall of Famer believes Oba Femi is not yet ready for a singles showdown with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42.
Speculation about a potential match between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi has grown since the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble, where Lesnar eliminated the powerhouse. With WrestleMania 42 set for Las Vegas, reports have suggested the bout is a possibility, though not yet confirmed internally.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray said the match would come too soon in Femi’s main roster run.
“It’s much too soon for Brock and Oba, in my opinion,” Ray said. “Oba is not credible enough yet, and Brock knows this. It’s going to be very hard. Oba is not credible enough for Brock right now.”
Who Does Bully Ray Think Brock Lesnar Should Face At WrestleMania 42?
Bully Ray instead pointed to Gunther as a more suitable WrestleMania 42 opponent for Lesnar, a match that has been widely discussed in recent years.
“I don’t see why you couldn’t get two matches out of Brock and Gunther. I think you could,” Ray said. “I could never say, ‘Absolutely not, they would not do Brock and Oba.’ I couldn’t say that because they could. I feel that it’s much too soon for Oba as far as the credibility of having a shot of beating Brock Lesnar.”
Ray added that Gunther has already been built to a level where a win over Lesnar would feel believable.
“Gunther has been built to be credible enough to defeat Brock. Oba still has a ways to go.”
