Bully Ray Comments On Whether Oba Femi Should Beat Brock Lesnar At WWE WrestleMania

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2026

Bully Ray is convinced that Oba Femi has to win in his first clash with Brock Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania 42.

Ray, on “Busted Open,” said that if Lesnar is unsure about losing to the former NXT Champion, like he and Paul Heyman were about Braun Strowman, the face-to-face with Oba Femi over the last two weeks and the reaction it has generated from the crowd should ease those fears.

“With what we saw over the past two weeks, does Oba Femi need to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania? Is getting over going to be enough? Does Oba need to go over?” asked Ray. “Oba is part of the future of this roster and this company. It ain’t going to hurt Brock Lesnar to lose. And if Brock is on his way out, I don’t think it’s going to affect that last match, if that last match is against Gunther, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think they should put Oba over.”

Ray played devil’s advocate and argued that WWE could be apprehensive about Femi winning if they believe they are force-feeding him to the audience, which he doesn’t think is the case. With reports suggesting that Lesnar could retire later this year, Ray stated that the match against Oba Femi should signal that “The Beast Incarnate” is nearing the end of his career and that Lesnar’s staring at his “wrestling mortality” after the clash.

Ray, who commended Lesnar’s understanding of the business, is adamant that Oba Femi has to win the match and even went as far as to demand WWE put over Femi in the match.

“Come on, WWE, take a chance. Show some b**ls,” he said. “You did what you did over the past two weeks. Why? So you could give Oba a little bit on the front, because he’s really gonna lose on the back? I’d go ahead and do it again in the Garden next week.”

The WWE legend pondered how the match between Femi and Lesnar could pan out — whether it would be a quick finish or stretch to 10 minutes, with both stars bringing out their best.

WWE’s Bianca Belair Has Reportedly Begun ‘Light Training’ For Return To The Ring

Recently, Bianca Belair’s absence from the ring surpassed 11 months, with the former WWE Women’s Champion still sidelined with a serious finger injury. Fortunately, Belair seems to now be making equally as serious progress in her recovery from surgery.

BodySlam+ reports that Belair has finally begun “light training” for her potential in-ring return. “The EST” fractured multiple fingers amidst her triple threat match against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY at WWE WrestleMania 41 in April 2025. And while most of them healed, one finger caused extensive problems due it breaking in three places and at the joint. With Belair firmly unable to bend that particular finger, she eventually underwent surgery to address it in February 2026.

Following her surgery, Belair’s road to recovery kicked off with physical therapy, which included her attempting to make a fist, roll a wooden tube, and bend her finger. According to Belair herself, most of her early therapy days were frustrating as her finger often stiffened back up, causing her to feel a sense of pain and regression. Based on the latest report, though, she would have since moved past that phase, meaning she is one step closer to her long-awaited return to the squared circle.

During her time away from the ring, Belair sporadically appeared on WWE television, including an episode of “WWE SmackDown” in her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee. At WWE Evolution 2, she then served as the special guest referee for the No Holds Barred match between Jade Cargill and Naomi. In September, she resurfaced again for WWE’s special announcement of WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia. As of this writing, the timeframe for Belair’s in-ring return is unclear.

Chris Jericho Says AEW Pursued WWE’s AJ Styles, Speculates On His Next Move

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2026

Chris Jericho has lauded his former WrestleMania opponent, AJ Styles, and disclosed that AEW once tried to sign him.

Styles called time on his career after his match at this year’s Royal Rumble. Many believe that Styles has still a lot to offer in the ring, which he could have done in AEW, as per Jericho, who disclosed in an interview with “GamesHub” that AEW had interest in signing him.

“There was a time when we were going after him when his contract was up,” revealed Jericho. “Could he be a good fit [in AEW]? Of course he would be. AJ’s a great performer and a great guy. But there is something to be said for the fact that when you’ve worked in the Vince McMahon system for a long time, you think differently. There are ways WWE runs their company, and there are ways AEW runs theirs. I’m not going to speak for AJ, but I don’t know why you’d retire in one place and then immediately go somewhere else.”

Styles has reiterated several times since his last match that he is done as an in-ring performer, but some, like Bully Ray, believe there’s no chance that his in-ring career is over. Jericho holds a similar view, stating that “The Phenomenal One” could join AEW and wrestle for Tony Khan.

“That said, I’m sure it’s always a possibility,” added Jericho.

Styles reportedly had several opportunities to join AEW, as per Dave Meltzer, and it seems that he has no interest in joining Khan’s promotion. Veterans like Ray and Jeff Jarrett think the former WWE Champion could wrestle again, with the former pitching a dream match in AEW and the latter stating that Styles is only out of the TKO orbit and will likely continue to wrestle. However, it seems that Styles has other plans as reports indicate that he has signed a new deal with WWE following his retirement, and will mentor and train future stars.
