Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi set for Hell in a Cell match at SummerSlam

WWE’s King of the Ring winner Oba Femi entered the June 29 episode of Raw intent on announcing his world‑title challenger for SummerSlam. Mid‑celebration, former champion Brock Lesnar returned, delivering a low blow followed by a decisive F‑5 that knocked Femi unconscious.

After briefly recovering, Femi challenged Lesnar, calling him a “bitch” on mic. Lesnar accepted and added a Hell in a Cell stipulation, turning the SummerSlam matchup into a cage bout. The segment was aired from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with Paul Heyman accompanying Lesnar and WWE official Adam Pearce confirming the match backstage. Femi later said he was putting his world‑championship shot on hold while the rivalry continued.

The bout is now slated for the SummerSlam pay‑per‑view, the premier WWE event of the summer, and will be contested inside a Hell in a Cell cage.
