However, amid his continued absence, The Beast Incarnate has been issued a challenge by none other than NXT Champion Oba Femi.<\/p>\n<p>Lesnar&#8217;s last match came at SummerSlam 2023 against Cody Rhodes. Following his loss at the event, the former Universal Champion disappeared, which was also attributed to some allegations leveled against him. Since then, there&#8217;s been close to no chatter of Brock Lesnar&#8217;s return to the company, with reports even indicating that WWE might not bring him back <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/rumor-unfortunate-update-brock-lesnar-s-wwe-return-reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">until his legal issues get resolved<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Oba Femi, however, has set his sights on a match with Lesnar. The NXT Champion made this known on the <em>No Contest Wrestling<\/em> podcast, saying he and the veteran performer could draw huge crowds if they were to go to war.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the 27-year-old star added that a potential showdown between him and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/brock-lesnar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">The Beast Incarnate<\/a> was worthy of headlining any premium live event.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be carnage.
