As the new champion went around the ring celebrating his win, Lesnar stayed put, which seemed to imply the end of his career. Lesnar, wearing tears in his eyes, took off his boots and gloves, before embracing his advocate, Paul Heyman. At the request of the crowd who chanted “Thank you, Brock!”, Lesnar turned around and bowed to the fans, acknowledging their support throughout his career.
The Era of Open Challenges and the Startling Return of Lesnar
In the aftermath of his WrestleMania triumph, Oba Femi set about conducting an ongoing open challenge series in Monday Night Raw. From week to week, The Ruler was simply overpowering his opponents, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most dominant players on the main roster. In his longest contest during this period, he didn’t take much more than five minutes to dispose of his opponent.
However, on the May 18, 2026 edition of Monday Night Raw, the WWE Universe got to witness an episode that shook the wrestling world to its core. Brock Lesnar, who had not been seen in the ring ever since his tearful farewell at WrestleMania, shockingly returned to action. With Oba Femi giving his open challenge, Lesnar’s music began to play. In came the Beast as he walked down the ramp and jumped into the ring before grabbing Femi by his waist and delivering one of his trademark moves — the F5.
With this attack, a match was set for the highly anticipated rematch at WWE Clash in Italy. Fans couldn’t help but ask themselves whether it would be a match that saw Lesnar get his revenge against Oba Femi or a match that saw Femi cement his dominance over the retired legend.
Seven F5s and Vengeance – WWE Clash in Italy 2026
On May 31, 2026, during WWE Clash in Italy, Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi squared off against each other in the most talked-about rematch of WrestleMania 42. This time, the WWE clash took place in Italy, which marked a significant milestone as it was the very first time ever in WWE history when an Italian arena hosted a wrestling show.
The moment the match started, Lesnar realized that there was going to be no easy way out. From the beginning, Femi used his physical advantages to take control of the situation, but Lesnar, having over twenty years of WWE experience under his belt, successfully stood firm. Things changed dramatically when Lesnar applied his first ever F5, but, instead of pinning down Femi right away, he decided to exact some punishment.
There followed an onslaught that has to rank among the greatest exhibitions of dominance in a WWE title match. In the match, Brock Lesnar applied seven F5 moves on Oba Femi. Lesnar made quick work of his prey. After all, he had been the victim of such embarrassment at the WrestleMania. On delivering the seventh and last F5, Lesnar covered his opponent to secure the three-count.
