Brock Lesnar may finally have a dance partner for "WrestleMania 42." In the opening segment of Monday's episode of WWE "Raw," Seth Rollins made his way out with a group of masked men. Paul Heyman interrupted his former Vision stablemate's promo, and had Brock Lesnar attempt to attack Rollins in retaliation for an injury angle.

Lesnar took out the masked men before meeting Rollins face to face. Before things got physical, Oba Femi's music hit. Femi made his way out and took out Lesnar with Fall From Grace. "The Ruler" then put his foot on Lesnar's chest and pointed at the "WrestleMania 42" sign.

Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania History

Lesnar will be making his 13th appearance at "WrestleMania" in April. His record at WWE's biggest annual show is an even 6-6. He's faced the likes of Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, Goldberg, and Roman Reigns, to name a few.

"The Beast" also has history with Rollins at "The Grandest Stage of Them All." The two collided at "WrestleMania 35" back in 2019 with the WWE Universal Championship at stake. Rollins won that match by hitting the Stomp on Lesnar.

Oba Femi Represents New Era

While Lesnar has long been viewed as WWE's top big man, Femi looks to take that moniker. Femi was recently called up to the main roster after vacating the NXT Championship. WWE reportedly sees Femi as having main event potential for years to come.
