Oba Femi Calls Out Roman Reigns After WrestleMania 42 Victory Over Brock Lesnar

Oba Femi wasted absolutely no time after defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 Night Two — immediately using his post-show appearance to set his sights on the night’s other big winner. With the crowd already buzzing from his dominant performance against The Beast, Femi looked ahead with the confidence of someone who knows exactly where he is going.

“I think tomorrow is a celebration. I think in the coming weeks is the establishment of a new main event player. And I think at the end of the year, the OTC can get some,” Femi said, referencing Roman Reigns by his Tribal Chief initials after Reigns had just won the World Heavyweight Championship in the Night Two main event.

The crowd at the post-show immediately began chanting Femi’s name alongside “Oba’s gonna kill you” as Reigns appeared — and the new champion took notice. Reigns acknowledged the moment while putting Femi’s achievement in context and issuing a challenge of his own. “Oba had a big night. Oba, you gonna kill me? You still seem a little fresh in this business. You did a big thing tonight, but I’ve done that many times. I did that with the title on the line. Let’s see how you do in the Summer, then we’ll see if you can step to the Greatest of All Time.”

Roman Reigns vs. Oba Femi Appears to Be WWE’s Next Major Championship Program After WrestleMania 42

The exchange between Femi and Reigns at the post-show sets up what could be one of WWE‘s most anticipated championship programs of 2026 — a generational collision between the most dominant performer of the past five years and a 27-year-old physical specimen who has not lost a singles match since arriving on the main roster. Femi made his WWE debut just months ago and has already defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania in only his second pay-per-view appearance, making Reigns’ suggestion that summer will be the proving ground feel like the right timeline for the next step in what is clearly a carefully managed rise.
