We’re breaking down the moment that’s got the entire WWE Universe buzzing less than 24 hours after WrestleMania 42 Night 2 went off the air in Las Vegas: Oba Femi just demolished Brock Lesnar in under five minutes to kick off the show – and Kofi Kingston’s reaction is pure gold.
This wasn’t just a match. It was a torch-passing beatdown that ended with The Beast Incarnate leaving his boots in the ring and signaling retirement. And right on cue, the former WWE Champion who knows that pain better than anyone had the perfect response.
Kofi’s exact comment – straight from the timeline
Moments after the bell rang, Kofi Kingston (@TrueKofi) fired off a single, loaded tweet: “Avenged…at long last…”
Short, savage, and loaded with history. Fans instantly knew what it meant. Back in 2019, Brock squashed Kofi in just eight seconds on SmackDown to rip away the WWE Championship in one of the most shocking title changes ever. Kofi never got his real payback. Fast-forward to March 2026 – when Oba Femi answered Brock’s open challenge on Raw – Kofi was the first to tweet: “Oh sh#%… Avenge us…”
Last night? Mission accomplished. Oba hit the Fall From Grace, pinned The Beast clean, and sent the new era into overdrive.
The real meaning – why this hits different
- Payback seven years in the making. Kofi’s quick loss became meme lore. Seeing a rising star like Oba Femi – the Nigerian giant who’s been tearing through NXT and now the main roster – deliver the beatdown feels like closure for Kofi and every fan who felt that robbery.
- Generational torch passing. Brock has been the final boss for over two decades. Oba Femi destroying him in four minutes on the biggest stage? That’s WWE saying the future is NOW. Lesnar’s boots in the ring sealed it – the Beast era is closing, and the new monsters are taking over.
- Deeper layers for the culture. The win has sparked conversations about Brock’s historical dominance over certain top stars. Kofi, Big E, Omos – all had their Brock stories. Fans and wrestlers alike are calling this “justice served.” Oba stepping up and delivering? Massive.
- WWE booking masterclass. This keeps Oba white-hot as a top babyface while giving Brock a dignified (and likely temporary) exit. Expect Kofi to cross paths with Oba soon – maybe even a celebration segment on Raw.
Bottom line: Kofi didn’t need to say much. One tweet said everything. Oba Femi didn’t just beat Brock Lesnar – he avenged a whole chapter of WWE history in front of 70,000+ in Vegas.
