John Cena: Oba Femi Is Brock Lesnar’s Even Match, Everyone Goes Into A Match With Brock Lesnar As An Underdog, Except Oba Femi

John Cena believes that Oba Femi is Brock Lesnar’s ‘even match’, and that he is not an underdog against ‘The Beast’.

In the lead up to WrestleMania 42, Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar have been clashing in violent brawls, with Oba being more than capable of taking on Lesnar in said brawls. Now, the host of the show this weekend has addressed the upcoming bout.

While speaking to Denise Salcedo in a new interview, John Cena spoke about Oba Femi being Brock Lesnar’s ‘even match’.

“I think Brock Lesnar is a once in a genre talent, and I don’t mean once in a generation, I mean once in wrestling, and it’s very difficult to solve the puzzle that’s Brock Lesnar. Oba Femi is Brock Lesnar’s even match, and I think that’s what’s exciting about that matchup. Everyone, everyone goes into a match with Brock Lesnar, an underdog, except Oba Femi. I think that’s the allure everyone wants to see, two tanks square off in this ring, and not just two big men, two gifted men, two big, agile, mobile, versatile athletes, and shout out to Oba, he has the courage to stand in there. I’ve had many moments where I’ve shared with Brock Lesnar, and the moments where I’ve had the courage to charge the hill, I’m still ready to crap my pants. Oba has the courage and confidence to charge the hill, and I think Brock has never seen that out of a challenger before. End stop.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Roman Reigns addressed a possible bout with Oba Femi. You can read more about that here.
