Kevin Nash has praised Brock Lesnar for his willingness to put Oba Femi over heading into WrestleMania 42, calling the “Beast Incarnate” the most giving performer in professional wrestling, while also noting the financial incentive of making a future opponent look credible.
Speaking on Kliq This, Nash reacted to the WWE angle in which Femi stood over a downed Lesnar with his foot on top of him, a defining visual in the build to their WrestleMania 42 match. Nash credited Lesnar for the ease with which he allowed the moment to happen.
“Brock, who’s the most giving motherf**ker on the planet,” Nash said. “He’s just not a f**king mark. There’s nothing about that guy that’s a fing mark. I guess when you’re one of the baddest motherfers on earth, you have nothing to prove.”
Nash also addressed the financial logic behind Lesnar’s willingness to elevate Femi, framing it as a smart business decision as much as a generous one. “If I’m Brock Lesnar and I have to make somebody to make them worthy of a WrestleMania match and I’m probably going to get a $2.5 to $3 million payday out of it, I’m pretty sure I’m making somebody,” Nash said.
Nash added that he would like to see Femi face a smaller, more mobile opponent before WrestleMania to help showcase his moveset more effectively, noting that his recent victory over Rusev featured two large performers with a similar style. “Either way it’s going to sell,” Nash said.
WWE began building toward the Lesnar versus Femi match at the Royal Rumble in January, where the two shared a brief face-off that served as an early test of crowd reaction. Lesnar is expected to address Femi accepting his challenge and laying him out on a recent Raw tonight.
Femi is a two-time former NXT Champion who joined the main roster at the start of 2026. Lesnar is rumored to be considering retirement in the near future, with SummerSlam in Minneapolis this August floated as a potential destination for his final match.
