Brock Lesnar Explains His Reason to Return & Oba Femi Attack

Monday’s WWE RAW show at the Value City Arena At The Jerome Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio featured Brock Lesnar explaining his reasons why he came back after teasing his retirement at WrestleMania 42 and his attack on Oba Femi at last week’s show.

During the show, a video aired featuring Lesnar talking about how he didn’t get the chance to congratulate Oba Femi on beating him at WrestleMania but that victory will now cost him more than he can imagine. Lesnar continued talking about how he has had his share of ass whoopings through the years bit the one he got from Femi made him think that he’s done. Lesnar stated that doesn’t sit well with him and claimed Femi will get his ass kicked by a humble, retired beast. Lesnar then stated that he will conquer Femi and “I am gonna rule over Oba Femi.”

"I am going to RULE over Oba Femi" 🔥
