WrestleMania 39 is only a few weeks away, and it was confirmed earlier this week that Brock Lesnar is set to face Omos on the Grandest Stage of Them All. It was recently reported that several different opponents were discussed for Brock Lesnar one of which was Bray Wyatt.
Brock Lesnar turned down the idea of facing off against Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 39, and according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter he turned down the match due to the supernatural elements involved with Bray Wyatt’s gimmick.
”With Wyatt’s supernatural gimmick and total lack of ‘believability,’ it hurts a believe real-life tough-guy to have to sell the magic stuff. At that point Omos was brought into the picture to face Lesnar, who didn’t turn down that suggestion.”
