Former WWE Champion Raj Dhesi, better known to wrestling fans as Jinder Mahal, has pitched a major idea for Oba Femi’s future in WWE following the rising star’s recent rivalry with Brock Lesnar. Oba Femi continues to draw major praise following the conclusion of his lengthy rivalry with Brock Lesnar in WWE. This is the real reason Paul Heyman has pitched an idea for The Ruler’s future.Earlier, veteran WWE star Brock Lesnar, who retired recently, hailed Oba Femi following their brutal Hell in a Cell main event at SummerSlam 2026, declaring the rising star “the future of WWE” in a moment that many fans viewed as a symbolic passing of the torch. According to WWE, earlier, Brock Lesnar initially left the ringside with Paul Heyman following the main event at U.S. Bank Stadium but then returned to the ring, embraced Femi and raised his opponent’s arm.

Former WWE Champion Raj Dhesi has pitched a major idea for Oba Femi’s future in WWE following the rising star’s recent rivalry with Brock Lesnar.Dhesi suggested that WWE turn Femi heel and pair him with legendary manager Paul Heyman, drawing comparisons to the early stages of Lesnar’s WWE career.The former champion shared the idea in a recent Instagram post. In the Instagram post, he wrote, “Turn Oba Femi heel. Just like Brock Lesnar when he was when he debuted, have him destroy everybody and let the crowd naturally turn him babyface. Put him with Paul Heyman.”The proposal comes at an interesting point when former NXT Champion recently completed a trilogy with Lesnar, defeating “The Beast Incarnate” in the SummerSlam PLE on August 1, 2026. Not only this, but Dhesi also witnessed his performance at Femi’s earliest training sessions at the WWE Performance Center. Initially, he was not impressed by his performance, but his hard work over the years has reflected well in his work recently.Unfortunately, the idea will be difficult to execute as Heyman is currently aligned with Bron Breakker, who has emerged as one of Femi’s potential rivals. The tension between the two sides was highlighted on the August 10 episode of RAW when Breakker questioned Heyman about the respect he had shown toward Femi.However, a potential alliance would also mirror Heyman’s previous association with Lesnar. Heyman played a major role in establishing Lesnar as a dominant WWE superstar during his early daysAs Lesnar’s endorsement at SummerSlam added another layer to his growing reputation, WWE is yet to confirm the alliance, but a Heyman alliance could provide an intriguing direction for “the future of WWE.”
