According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is still engaged in internal discussions about a potential matchup between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi. While nothing has been finalized yet, they are exploring the possibility. Meltzer noted that interest in this match increased after both wrestlers stood out during the 2026 Men's Royal Rumble Match, where they had a brief face-off before Femi was ultimately eliminated by Lesnar.
Meltzer also mentioned that if the match between Lesnar and Femi occurs, the storyline would likely position Femi to win. However, whether the match actually happens will depend heavily on WWE’s plans for Lesnar, as a loss to Femi could impact Lesnar's standing as a top talent. Conversely, a victory for Femi would solidify his status as a main roster competitor, especially following his successful run as NXT Champion.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that there was no interaction between Lesnar and GUNTHER during the Royal Rumble. GUNTHER entered the match late at number 30, after Lesnar had already been eliminated, which seems to have dampened speculation about a potential matchup between those two, at least for the time being.
