Roman Reigns did not ignore the challenge from Oba Femi following WrestleMania 42 Sunday, addressing it directly during the post-show in front of a live crowd.

Femi had earlier called out Reigns after defeating Brock Lesnar, making it clear he is aiming for the top spot. That moment quickly carried over into the post-show, where fans began chanting “Oba’s gonna kill you!” while Reigns was speaking.

Reigns acknowledged the chant and turned it into a direct message aimed at Femi.

“Oba, you’re gonna kill me? See, you still seem a little fresh in this business.”

While he recognized Femi’s win over Lesnar, Reigns made it clear that one major victory is not enough to reach his level. He pointed to his own track record, emphasizing consistency and championship success as the real measure.

“You did a big thing tonight—but I’ve done that many times, and I’ve done it with a title on the line. I took it, I defended it. Let’s see how you do through the summer—and then we’ll see if you can step up to the greatest of all time.”

The response sets the tone for what could develop into a future program between the two. Reigns is not dismissing Femi, but he is also not positioning him as an immediate challenger.

Femi’s callout came after his victory earlier in the night, while Reigns closed WrestleMania 42 by defeating CM Punk to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

With both men coming out of WrestleMania with major momentum, the exchange suggests a potential clash down the line. For now, Reigns has made it clear that Femi must prove himself over time before earning that opportunity.
