Oba Femi’s WrestleMania 42 contract signing on the April 13 episode of WWE RAW did more than confirm his upcoming match with Brock Lesnar. It also introduced the possibility of a future alliance with Paul Heyman that could impact his direction moving forward.
Femi entered the ring focused and signed the contract without hesitation. He appeared ready to address the challenge ahead, but the segment quickly changed when Heyman appeared on the stage. His presence shifted the moment from a routine signing to a tense exchange.
Heyman praised Femi, describing him as one of the fastest-rising names he has seen. Despite the compliment, he warned that momentum alone would not be enough against Lesnar. He pointed out that many competitors have built hype, only to see it end abruptly when facing the former champion.

He then made his intentions clear. Heyman told Femi that after Lesnar defeats him at WrestleMania, he would be willing to guide him and help rebuild his career. He emphasized that his door would “always” be open, presenting the offer as a long-term opportunity rather than immediate support.
Femi did not accept the proposal. He responded by rejecting Heyman’s words and made it clear he has no plans to rely on anyone after WrestleMania. He expressed full confidence in his ability to defeat Lesnar and suggested that even Heyman may doubt the outcome.
“The physical scars will heal, but the emotional wounds when his Beast loses at WrestleMania will last forever,” Femi said.
The exchange added more tension to the match, highlighting the difference in mindset between both sides. Heyman focused on experience and outcomes, while Femi stood firm in his belief that he will leave WrestleMania with a victory.
The segment closed without any physical altercation, but the message was clear. Heyman sees potential in Femi, whether as an opponent or a future client. Femi, however, remains focused on proving himself without outside help when he faces Lesnar at WrestleMania 42.
