WWE isn’t wasting any time with Oba Femi — plans for his WrestleMania debut are already in motion.

On WrestleVotes Radio via Fightful Select, Joey Votes revealed that WWE creative has been actively discussing high-level WrestleMania plans involving Oba Femi, despite him not even appearing on the main roster yet.

“We’ve learned that creative has discussed some big, high-level plans with Oba Femi’s name attached to them regarding WrestleMania,” Joey said. “Normally rookies don’t have a big-time spot on a WrestleMania card — that seems to be different here.”

One speculative matchup was even floated by the hosts: a non-title WrestleMania showdown with Brock Lesnar — a major endorsement for the former NXT standout.

“Can you get away with Oba Femi versus Brock Lesnar?” Joey asked.
TC replied: “Yeah, of course you could... I’m sure Brock would be happy to do the honors for him and kind of put the rub on him.”

While nothing is confirmed, the idea that Oba Femi is even being considered for a marquee match at WrestleMania is almost unheard of for Performance Center-grown talent — a sign WWE sees him as a future megastar.

Should WWE pull the trigger and book Oba Femi on the grandest stage of them all? Would you be down for a Lesnar match? Sound off in the comments and let us know who you’d book against Oba for WrestleMania.
