Isaac Odugbesan, popularly known as Obafemi, announced himself on the biggest stage of them all with a stunning victory over Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42.

The two-night spectacle held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19, 2026, saw the Nigerian star headline night two in a blockbuster clash against “The Beast.”
Obafemi, a former NXT Champion nicknamed “The Ruler,” entered the bout unbeaten in singles competition since his arrival in December, bulldozing every opponent in his path but WrestleMania presented his ultimate test.

Lesnar who had earlier eliminated him from the Royal Rumble came in with his trademark aura of dominance, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown driven by revenge and legacy.
In the end, it was Obafemi who prevailed, delivering a statement victory that signaled the arrival of a new force in WWE.

The aftermath was equally dramatic. Lesnar left his gear in the ring, bowed to the crowd, kissed the canvas, and embraced his longtime advocate, Paul Heyman, as fans chanted, “Thank you, Lesnar”—a moment that strongly hinted at a possible farewell.
Reacting to his triumph, Obafemi declared, “I took 25 years of dominance from The Beast and made it nothing. I am who I say I am—the ruler, the destroyer, the bringer of war.”

Elsewhere on the night, Roman Reigns defeated CM Punk in a fierce contest to emerge as the new world heavyweight champion.
