Brock Lesnar is set to feature ina non-title match at Wrestlemania 39 and will be upagainst Omos at the Show of the Shows. Ever since it was announced that the 45-year-old veteran wrestler will be squaring off versus Omos, thisupdate hassurprised many. After being challenged by the tall superstar last week, Lesner accepted his challenge, and the duo is set to lock horns soon. However, many expected it to be a battle between Lesner and Bray Wyatt.

Dave Meltzer, of Wrestling Observer Radio, he has reportedthat Omos wasn't Lesnar's original opponent. As per Meltzer, WWE had planned a face-off between former WWE ChampionBray Wyatt and Lesnar, however, the latter declined it and, hence, Omos came into the picture.

"Brock Lesnar, this was also not the original idea, but it was an idea. One of the ideas was Brock Lesnar vs Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania, and Brock said no to that one, which doesn’t surprise me in the least," Meltzer said.

As a result, the company tweakedits plans andthe 28-year-old Nigerian Omoschallenged Lesnar in last week's Raw.

On the other hand, Wyat is likely to faceBobby Lashley at Wrestlemania 39. Many expected Lesnar and Wyatt's storyline to becompleted at Wrestlemania, however, it won't be the case now. It remains to be seen if Wyatt responds to Lesner reportedly rejecting a match against him.
