Lesnar, who is 48, laid his gloves and boots down in the ring after the match to signal the end of his WWE career that started in 2002.
The match started with Lesnar and Femi engaged in a collar and elbow tie-up with both men looking to assert their strength.
Femi won that battle. The former UFC heavyweight champion would then try to closeline Femi off his feet three times but, to his amazement, Lesnar was unable to get Femi down.
Femi duly dropped the WWE legend and sent him sprawling to the outside.
Lesnar regained control briefly once Femi came looking for him on the outside and managed to land one final F5 in the ring.
But Femi recovered to hit a chokeslam and his Fall From Grace finisher to secure the biggest win of his career.
Lesnar retires a 10-time WWE champion, a former UFC heavyweight champion and a former NCAA heavyweight division one champion wrestler.
He won the King of the Ring in his debut year in 2002 before defeating The Rock at SummerSlam for the Undisputed Title just four months into his main roster career.
The following January, he’d win the Royal Rumble, an event he’d also win 19 years later.
He also won the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2019.
