Nigerian wrestler, Isaac Odugbesan, popularly known as Oba Femi, defeated 10-time WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in WrestleMania 42 on Sunday.
The contest began with both wrestlers testing each other’s strength before Lesnar briefly seized control with a series of offensive moves.
Lesnar delivered his signature F5 move on Femi. However, the 27-year-old Femi quickly recovered and responded with a dominant display, shifting momentum in his favour.
Femi hit a chokeslam before finishing the contest with his Fall From Grace sit-out powerbomb move for the pinfall victory.
The clash, one of the headline matches at WrestleMania 42, ended on a dramatic note as Oba Femi overpowered the veteran.
Lesnar left his wrestling gear in the ring after the match — a gesture widely regarded in professional wrestling as a sign of retirement.
Oba Femi was born in Lagos, Odugbesan and competed in track and field during his school years before signing with WWE in 2021 through its NIL programme.
He went on to win the 2023 NXT Men’s Breakout Tournament and the 2024 Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge.
