Whereas he might not have made an look to price Oba Femi the King of the Ring in latest weeks, Brock Lesnar made his WWE return on final evening’s Uncooked. And never simply that, however the Beast has put in movement an enormous Hell in a Cell match in opposition to Oba at SummerSlam.
With Femi and Lesnar tied at 1-1, and given how the Ruler has spent the previous a number of weeks calling Brock out, many followers presumed Lesnar would finally screw Oba out of the King of the Ring, be that in one of many earlier rounds or presumably within the ultimate at Evening of Champions over the weekend. That did not come to cross, and Oba Femi picked up a clear win over Jey Uso at Evening of Champions to be topped the 2026 King of the Ring.
Nonetheless, Brock Lesnar turned up on Uncooked final evening, hyping up Oba Femi after his King of the Ring win, saying that, whereas he does not watch the product, Paul Heyman has been retaining Brock in control on what Oba has been saying about him these days. With that, Lesnar hit Femi low after which nailed him with an F-5. After Brock had left the ring, Oba recovered, referred to as him a “b**ch”, and threw down the problem for Femi vs. Lesnar III at SummerSlam.
Not solely did Brock Lesnar settle for that problem, however he mentioned the competition can be held throughout the confines of Hell in a Cell.
Uncooked Basic Supervisor Adam Pearce would later make the match official, with it confirmed that Oba Femi is placing his assured SummerSlam World Title shot – his reward for successful King of the Ring – on maintain for now whereas he takes care of Brock over the weekend of August 1st and 2nd.
Per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, what we noticed on Uncooked between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar is a plan that is “been in place for a very long time,” and this was no last-minute choice or change-up to current plans.
As for what’s occurring with Roman Reigns and the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, the tip of Uncooked noticed Roman settle for a problem from Seth Rollins for the corporate’s Largest Celebration of the Summer season. It now simply stays to be seen who Sami Zayn can be defending his WWE Championship in opposition to when SummerSlam rolls round.
