Oba Femi will lock horns with Brock Lesnar this Sunday at Clash in Italy in what Paul Heyman dubbed the biggest rematch in the entire history of pro wrestling, let alone WWE. ‘The Wiseman’ kicked off this week’s Raw to hype a match that he said needed no hype. After berating the crowd for loud Oba chants, Heyman presented a video promo sent by his client.

Lesnar, in that vignette, said he didn’t get a chance to congratulate Femi last week for his mammoth WrestleMania win over him. ‘The Beast’ noted he had never been on the receiving end of such a beating ever before in his career.

However, the former UFC ace affirmed that it’ll cost ‘The Ruler’ more than he could’ve ever imagined. After getting embarrassed by the former NXT Champion at WrestleMania, Lesnar decided to call it a career. But it didn’t sit well with him, and hence he changed his mind on retiring just yet.

Lesnar questioned if Femi would survive a beating that he was going to inflict on him. The 10-time world champion vowed to humble, conquer, and rule over ‘The Ruler’. While Brock Lesnar wasn’t there on Raw this week in person, he certainly made his voice heard, and he’s gunning for revenge.

Last Monday was the first instance of him taking Oba Femi to the cleaners. The Nigerian wrestler didn’t once allow the 48-year-old to put him to the ground in any interaction they had in the lead-up to their match at WrestleMania. It took an ambush for Lesnar to make a statement out of Femi.

What message did Oba Femi have for Brock Lesnar on Raw?

After Paul Heyman showed what Brock Lesnar had to say on Raw, it didn’t take long for Oba Femi to strut his way out to the ring. ‘The Ruler’ backed Heyman into a corner and asked him to think about what those four F-5s from last week must’ve awakened in Femi. ‘The Bringer of War’ told ‘Paul E’ that he wouldn’t hurt him, as he needed the WWE Hall of Famer alive and well to tell the tale of Brock Lesnar.

Femi wanted Heyman to fast-forward it to his favorite part of Femi being the one to retire Lesnar twice whenever he narrated the story to anyone. The Lagos-born wrestler stressed that it had gotten very personal to him, and he told the 60-year-old to inform his client that he’s fighting to k*ll Brock Lesnar this weekend.

Femi also referred to their match in Italy as the final chapter of their rivalry. It might cast a doubt on the possibility of this rivalry turning into a trilogy. However, the fans will get a clearer picture of what to expect from these behemoths once they get over with their rematch, the result of which is unpredictable this time around.

Some believe that Lesnar could get the win over the former NXT Champion in Turin, which would lead to a decider at SummerSlam, which, in turn, could very well be Lesnar’s actual final match in WWE. The company, as mentioned in the beginning, is labeling Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi at Clash in Italy as the biggest rematch in history.

WWE CCO Triple H took to social media to unveil the poster for their match and wrote that it’s possibly the most anticipated rematch in history. ‘The Game’ played safe with the selection of his words. He now has the onus to deliver the goods in terms of the creative booking of it. Lesnar vs. Femi went under five minutes at WrestleMania. It would be interesting to see how long it goes this weekend.
