Oba Femi made easy work of Brock Lesnar in a star-making moment at WrestleMania 42 Night 2 in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It also may have been Lesnar's last match, as he appeared to retire after the loss.
Femi's arrival was one of the most anticipated of WrestleMania weekend. The crowd was all the way there for the former NXT Champion to open Sunday night in his battle against WWE's former "Next Big Thing," and the match started with the pair locking up with the classic collar-elbow tie-up to test their strength. Lesnar then picked up Femi to put him in the corner, but was quickly shucked off and clotheslined in disbelief.

The match then ventured outside the ring as Lesnar rammed Femi into the ring post and steel steps to get the edge, before returning to the ring as Femi took a trip to "Suplex City."
Lesnar's sudden momentum appear to cool him down and calm his visible frustrations. He even did some showboating to the crowd, which isn't typical for the former world champion.

But Femi eventually fought back to land a sequence of European uppercuts until Lesnar countered with an F-5, which Femi stunningly no-sold.
Femi followed with a huge chokeslam and Fall From Grace for the win.
A star isn't born, it only further shines. For WWE's next era, Femi is that guy.

More surprisingly, after the match, Lesnar removed his gloves and boots in the center of the ring in an emotional scene, embracing Paul Heyman and waving to the crowd in an apparent retirement.
"The Beast" has seemingly called it a career to start WrestleMania 42 Night 2.
