Oba Femi walked into Atlantic City, New Jersey, to a king’s reception.
After all, he won the King of the Ring tournament at Night of Champions and appeared to be picking his opponent for SummerSlam – Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn. Instead, Brock Lesnar interrupted Femi to a huge ovation.

Lesnar spoke to Femi and called out “The Ruler” for all the trash talk he’s been doing while Lesnar had been off the show. But Lesnar wanted to teach Femi a lesson.
“Talk s—, get hit,” Lesnar said before kicking Femi in the groin and delivering an F5 to the big man.
But it wasn’t enough to keep Femi down. He rose again and challenged Lesnar to a match at SummerSlam at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Lesnar agreed, but went one step further. He said the fight will take place in Hell in a Cell. The crowd went wild and it was later made official.

Raw general manager Adam Pearce made sure Femi was OK with possibly delaying his title shot for the time being.
“The title will always be there. The championships are not going anywhere,” assured Femi Pearce. “I’ll take it when I want it. … It has to happen. This has to end and I’m going to be the one to put an end to it.”
Femi and Lesnar have been at each other’s throats since before WrestleMania 42. Lesnar answered Femi’s open challenge, sparking a match at WrestleMania 42. Femi defeated Lesnar and led Lesnar, at least momentarily, to decide to retire from pro wrestling.
