Oba Femi’s massive WrestleMania 42 victory may be leading directly into one of the biggest moments of his career, as he is now expected to open Monday Night RAW.
Sources indicate to Bodyslam that Oba Femi is currently listed on the early rundown to kick off RAW. The timing makes sense following his dominant performance at WrestleMania 42, where he defeated Brock Lesnar in convincing fashion and immediately turned heads across WWE.
Femi’s win over Lesnar wasn’t just another WrestleMania moment—it positioned him as one of the most talked-about names coming out of the biggest show of the year. Having him open RAW would signal that WWE plans to keep the spotlight firmly on him as the fallout from WrestleMania continues.
While Femi is expected to set the tone early in the night, RAW will also feature the first appearance of Roman Reigns as WWE World Heavyweight Champion after capturing the title from CM Punk at WrestleMania 42. With both names connected to major WrestleMania moments, tonight’s show could shape the direction of WWE programming moving forward.

Monday Night RAW will air live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, starting at 8 PM ET. Fans can stream the entire show on Netflix as WWE continues its new era following WrestleMania 42. Ringside News will also provide live play-by-play coverage throughout the night in the WWE Monday Night RAW results hub.
With Oba Femi set to open the show after defeating Brock Lesnar, all eyes will be on how WWE capitalizes on his momentum and whether his WrestleMania victory leads to even bigger opportunities.
