How it happened

From the opening bell, Lesnar rushed Femi with unrelenting aggression.

The 10-time WWE champion hit consecutive brutal F-5s, showcasing the raw power that defined his legendary career. The Italian crowd erupted as The Beast laid waste to the Nigerian star.

Oba Femi, “The Ruler,” refused to stay down, absorbing the early onslaught and mounting a fiery recovery, using his size and athleticism to turn the tide temporarily. Femi’s resilience once again highlighted why many view him as a future cornerstone of WWE.

This bout was direct revenge for WrestleMania 42, where Oba Femi shocked the world by defeating Brock Lesnar in a surprisingly quick and dominant encounter.

After that loss, Lesnar dramatically left his boots and gloves in the ring, sparking widespread retirement rumours. WWE leaned into the storyline, with commentary and officials treating it as potentially the end of an era for the veteran.

Lesnar returned explosively on Raw weeks later, attacking Femi and demanding the rematch. The build-up featured intense promos, Paul Heyman’s involvement, and hype packages emphasising Lesnar’s unquenchable Beast persona versus Femi’s momentum as a new-generation star.

This decisive win at Clash in Italy adds major intrigue to Lesnar’s retirement plans. Reports indicate WWE’s working plan is for him to officially retire at SummerSlam 2026 in his home state of Minnesota. A potential third match with Femi at SummerSlam remains a strong possibility, allowing Lesnar one final high-profile outing while further elevating the Nigerian star.

Lesnar’s performance proved he still has plenty left in the tank for select appearances, but the clock is ticking on one of WWE’s all-time greats. For Oba Femi, the loss stings but positions him strongly as a resilient force who can hang with legends, setting up bigger opportunities ahead.

The Beast struck back in Italy. However, the storyline may not be over just yet.
