Speculation about who will answer Brock Lesnar’s open challenge for WWE WrestleMania 42
As seen during the February 23rd 2026 edition of Monday Night RAW, Brock Lesnar issued an open challenge for WWE WrestleMania 42. In regards to who will accept the match, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following…
“It’s very clear the crowd wants it to be Oba Femi. The only thing we know is that WWE is well aware of that, as the chants were obvious on 2/23 in Atlanta. But neither Paul Heyman nor Lesnar responded to the chants, which is more than likely not giving away the storyline before the confrontation if that is the direction. As noted before, LA Knight was the direction as of the Royal Rumble, with Femi, based on how the Rumble went, clearly an idea for down the line.”
Here is Lesnar’s schedule ahead of WrestleMania 42…
March 16th – San Antonio
March 23rd – Boston
March 30th – New York City
April 6th – Houston
April 13th – Sacramento
