It is finally WrestleMania weekend. While the build has been lackluster for the Raw and SmackDown brands, one storyline has been especially entertaining. The rookie Oba Femi, who has only been up on the main roster for a few months, is going to go head-to-head with "The Animal" Brock Lesnar.

Femi and Lesnar have both been booked strongly in their careers, with Lesnar's success being sustained over the two decades he has been in the business. Both wrestlers are extremely physical and move well for their size, adding to the anticipation for what will happen when they duke it out at WrestleMania. Many wrestling fans are very familiar with Lesnar, but casual fans who didn't follow Femi's career on the NXT brand may not be as familiar with the fresh face competing on a big platform.
