Oba Femi Answers Brock Lesnar’s Open Challenge Match for WrestleMania 42
Monday’s WWE RAW show at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas featured one newly updated match announced for the card of WrestleMania 42, which takes place on April 18-19 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This newly updated match announced was an Open Challenge match of Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar.
This newly update match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Paul Heyman issuing an open challenge to anyone in WWE’s locker room to face off against Lesnar at WrestleMania. During tonight’s show, several masked men came out from the crowd leading to one of them entering the ring. This masked person took off their mask revealing himself to be Seth Rollins. Rollins talked about how he was the one who started The Vision and he will be the one to end it. Rollins then talked about his attack on Paul Heyman last week leading to a distraught Heyman coming out and slowly made his way down the ramp.

After some more insults by Rollins directed at Heyman, Heyman responded stating he wasn’t going to come out here but he wouldn’t miss this for the world. Heyman continued stating that “he’s effing with him. Rollins effed with him, so he did it back. The rule is F.A.F.O.” Heyman continued shouting the acronym before ending it saying “F.A.F… 5!” This led to Lesnar’s music playing and him coming out and proceeded to go after all of Rollins’ masked henchmen taking all of them out one at a time.
FA F5 😱

Before Lesnar was able to go after Rollins, Femi’s music played to interrupt and he came out to the ring. This led to an intense standoff between Femi, Lesnar, and Rollins that ended with Rollins rolling out of the ring and Femi laying out Lesnar with a Fall From Grace powerbomb. Femi then put his foot on Lesnar’s fallen body and pointed to the WrestleMania sign and officially answering Lesnar’s open challenge.
THE RULER IS HERE AND JUST DROPPED BROCK LESNAR! 👑

Danhausen Appears & Curses Grayson Waller
Monday’s WWE RAW show also featured Danhausen showing up and cursing another person on WWE’s RAW and SmackDown brands.
During the show, Kofi Kingston interrupted Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee’s conversation backstage. Kingston asked Evans for his response for the offer to join New Day, which Evans refused. After Evans left, Waller showed up and asked Kingston why he is wasting time on trying to get Evans to join them since he doesn’t belong. Kingston responded back saying that people have been saying the same about Waller being in New Day. This led to Danhausen showing up and trying to make his case to join New Day. After some banter between Kingston, Waller, and Danhausen, Kingston refused Danhausen’s request. This led to Danhausen attempting to curse Kingston only for Kingston to put Waller in front of him to take the curse. Danhausen then disapeared while Waller asked Kingston why he did that and started to freak out over getting cursed.
