On this March 17th in Birmingham, here's what is making headlines. Oprah Femme made a huge statement on Monday night RAW by taking down Brock Lesnar and pointing straight to WrestleMania 42. The former Alabama track star, standing 6.6 and 310 pounds, answered Lesnar's open challenge and left the beast flat on his. Back after a powerful move, WWE has now locked in the matchup for the big event in Las Vegas. Lesnar had just returned to issue his challenge ahead of WrestleMania, but Femme's entrance stole the show with fans chanting his name. A quick distraction from Seth Rollins gave Femme the edge to plant his foot on Lesnar's chest and signal their future clash. This sets up a rematch after Lesnar eliminated him at the Royal Rumble back in January. Fans erupted with massive cheers, and the clip has racked up millions of views online. At 27 years old, Femme, born in Nigeria and a former SEC shot put champ, has been undefeated on the main roster since December.
He's already a former NXT champion proving he's ready for the spotlight. Meanwhile, Lesnar, the 6-3-286-pound legend with UFC and AWWE world titles, met his match in that stare-down. WWE called it an epic collision between two behemoths, and Femme says he's here to stay no matter the outcome. The two-night WrestleMania 42 streams on ESPN starting Saturday, April 18th, and Sunday, April 19th, at 6 p.m. Eastern Time, from Allegiant Stadium. Expect fireworks when these powerhouses finally settle the score. This story is made possible by our sponsor. Some people meditate, I just lay down and press play, S-O-L-I-SOLYPILLOW.com. Made in AI.
