Oba Femi’s rise in WWE reached another big moment on RAW. After defeating Brock Lesnar in a brutal Hell in a Cell match at SummerSlam, Femi addressed the WWE Universe during the August 3 episode of RAW. However, his celebration was cut short when he came face-to-face with Bron Breakker.

The two stared each other down from across the arena, immediately teasing a possible showdown between two of WWE’s most powerful young stars.

Oba Femi’s WWE future takes shape after his victory against Brock Lesnar

During the episode, Femi admitted that he misunderstood Lesnar’s actions after WrestleMania 42. After beating Lesnar cleanly at WrestleMania, Femi initially believed that The Beast attacked him because he was jealous.

However, after their final match at SummerSlam, he believes Lesnar wanted to know if he had made the right decision by choosing Femi as a future face of WWE. After their match, Lesnar and Femi shared an embrace, and The Beast finally called Femi “the future of WWE.”

Femi has accepted that responsibility. Now, he wants to create his own path and help lead WWE into a new era. He also talked about taking down the “old guard” and warned anyone who thinks they can stop him.

It didn’t take long for someone to appear ready to accept that challenge.

As Femi made his way toward the stage, The Vision appeared. Bron Breakker and Femi stared each other down. Austin Theory tried to get Bron Breakker to keep walking, but Breakker suddenly stopped and turned back toward Femi.

The two locked eyes once again, and neither man backed down. Theory eventually convinced Breakker to leave, but the message was already clear.

WWE may be setting up a major feud between Femi and Breakker.

Both men are seen as future stars of the company. Femi has just come off the biggest fight of his career, while Breakker continues to build his reputation as one of WWE’s most dangerous young talents.

There is also another important detail that could throw a wrench in the works. Oba Femi still has a championship opportunity available whenever he decides to use it.

10 BEST WWE SUMMERSLAM MATCHES OF ALL TIME

WWE SummerSlam is right around the corner, and while there are a handful of matches on the card this year that could be fantastic, it’s going to take a lot to crack into the true all-time great category. Since 1988, there have been some true classics at SummerSlam across many different eras, so we’re going to run down the best matches in SummerSlam history.

10. Brock Lesnar(c) vs Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman vs Samoa Joe – Universal Championship – SummerSlam 2017

Sometimes wrestling is just about watching a really entertaining car crash, and that’s exactly what this match was. This match is 20 minutes long, but it really doesn’t feel like it, as the four powerhouses featured here go all-out with the action and don’t let up for even a second. This was the peak of Strowman’s popularity in WWE too, and it features his classic carnage, whether he’s slamming Brock through the announce table and then burying him under the other announce table, or just launching a commentary chair right into Samoa Joe’s face; it is a tonne of fun.

9. John Cena(c) vs Cody Rhodes – WWE Championship – SummerSlam 2025

After the truly awful match between these two at WrestleMania 41, it’s fair to say expectations were low for this SummerSlam rematch, but in the end, these two blew us away in what is arguably the best match of John Cena’s retirement year. While there is some weirdness surrounding the sudden and complete dismissal of Cena’s heel turn right before the match, the action is so much fun to watch.

8. Bianca Belair(c) vs Becky Lynch – Raw Women’s Championship – SummerSlam 2022

This is another match that has the smell of redemption about it. The year before Becky Lynch had returned and beaten Bianca in 26 seconds in a move that everyone hated. Eventually it came back around, and the two had a barnburner at WrestleMania 38, and followed it up that summer with a similarly excellent opener. It was also a great statement to make, as this was the first major show following Vince McMahon’s exit from the company and Triple H taking over creative.

7. John Cena(c) vs Daniel Bryan – WWE Championship – SummerSlam 2013

One of the surprising things about SummerSlam is just how much John Cena loses there. He has one of the worst SummerSlam win-loss records ever, and this is arguably his most impactful loss at the event.

Daniel Bryan was the big star everyone wanted to break through, and on this night, Cena helped put him over in the biggest way possible, as the pair showcased how Bryan’s indie-rific style can mesh with the WWE main event style to create absolute magic, especially when the crowd is desperately hoping for the underdog to win.

While WWE never intended for this to be the start of Bryan’s rise to the WrestleMania 30 main event (no matter what Road Dogg says), we can look back on it now as a truly special moment.

6. Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio – SummerSlam 2002

If you need a match to put you on the map – as Mysterio did in his WWE pay-per-view debut – Kurt Angle is one of the best people you can have it against. This match is pure magic as these two bring fast-paced action. It’s an awful lot shorter than you probably remember, at just over 9 minutes, but Rey’s luchalibre mixes perfectly with Angle’s more technical style to create a match that is remembered more than two decades later.

5. Bret Hart(c) vs The British Bulldog – SummerSlam 1992

When it comes to iconic historical moments, there is perhaps no match on this list that tops it, though it loses points for one of the most memorable things about it being the fact that the British Bulldog was so out of it that he couldn’t remember the match at all. However, despite that, the excellence of execution led Bulldog through an all-time great match in front of one of WWE’s biggest crowds ever at Wembley Stadium, all culminating in the big win for the hometown Brit.

4. CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar – No Holds Barred – SummerSlam 2013

SummerSlam 2013 may be remembered as a two-match show (as there’s really nothing else on it worth going back to); however, what a pair of matches they are, and a great encapsulation of this era in WWE. In perhaps CM Punk’s last great match before he’d leave WWE for a decade, him and Brock Lesnar went all-out in a way that Brock doesn’t often do. Punk is the perfect ragdoll for Lesnar to throw around, but mounts a compelling comeback all the same, even if he doesn’t ultimately get the win.

3. Edge & Christian(c) vs The Hardy Boyz vs The Dudley Boyz WWF Tag Team Championships – TLC – SummerSlam 2000

The Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match is one of WWE’s more chaotic innovations. This right here was the very first, and they kicked it off in extremely memorable fashion. Much like the first ladder match several years earlier, this featured some incredible spots for the very first time that we almost take for granted today, featuring the very best of WWE’s extremely strong 2000s tag division in the best way possible.

2. Bret Hart(c) vs Owen Hart – WWF Championship – Steel Cage – SummerSlam 1994

Brother vs brother matches don’t have the best reputation in WWE. The Hardys and the Usos never really delivered, but WWE will keep trying them for one very good reason, and that’s Owen and Bret. Whenever these two got in the ring together, it was absolute magic. These two had already had an incredible clash in the opening match of WrestleMania 10, but they arguably one-upped themselves inside the Steel Cage here.

1. John Cena vs AJ Styles – SummerSlam 2016

Making the careers of fan-favourites at SummerSlam is a strange running theme of John Cena’s. We covered Daniel Bryan earlier; he also lost to CM Punk in a great match in 2011, but AJ Styles in 2016 is perhaps the one fans are most grateful for. As Styles himself has said, Vince McMahon brought him in to be a mid-card talent in the company, but it was his work with Cena that put him over the top.

This is arguably Cena’s best in-ring performance ever, and Styles does what he does best to put himself on the map, notching a huge win that would propel Mr TNA to become WWE Champion just one month later.

BROCK LESNER AND OBA FEMI TOSS FURNITURE AS CONTRACT GOES UNSIGNED ON WWE RAW

The April 6 episode of WWE RAW closed with a contract signing that quickly spiraled out of control, as Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi turned a formal agreement into anything but business as usual — leaving the deal hanging in the balance.

Adam Pearce set the stage for the signing, bringing both competitors to the ring with the expectation of making their WrestleMania 42 clash official.

However, before ink could meet paper, tensions boiled over in a hurry.

Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi contract signing ends in chaos on WWE RAW

Paul Heyman introduced Lesnar, who entered with confidence and even shook hands with officials. Moments later, Oba Femi made his way out, and the atmosphere shifted instantly — like a powder keg waiting for a spark.

Lesnar struck first, attempting to ambush Femi as he entered the ring, but the plan backfired. Femi countered and took control, driving Lesnar through the contract table with a double-leg takedown. At that point, the signing didn’t just break down — it broke apart.

Security rushed in, but containing both men proved easier said than done. Lesnar broke free and charged again, only for Femi to meet him head-on.

The chaos escalated as Lesnar hurled an office chair, with Femi returning the favor seconds later. It was less “sign on the dotted line” and more “sign of the times” — because this feud has clearly moved past paperwork.

The segment ended without signatures, leaving the match technically unsigned heading into WrestleMania 42. Still, given the physicality on display, the bout feels inevitable — even if the contract never gets a clean finish.

This confrontation marks the latest chapter in a rivalry built on power and dominance. With both men refusing to back down, WrestleMania now looms as the proving ground.

BZRICK LESNRR'S IMMEDIATE REACTION TO HUMILIATING INCIDENT ON WWE SMACKDOWN

Brock Lesnar suffers a humiliating wardrobe malfunction on WWE SmackDown.

Brock Lesnar kicked off the September 12th episode of SmackDown in Norfolk. However, before he could hype up his upcoming match against John Cena, R-Truth interrupted.

The duo soon engaged in a war of words before Lesnar picked up and dropped Truth with an F-5. Unfortunately, while doing so, fans across the globe witnessed Lesnar suffer an embarrassing situation.

Similar to his 2023 SummerSlam incident, Lesnar again ripped his pants, revealing his innerwear. However, instead of getting embarrassed or shying away, The Beast Incarnate played it off and showcased a humorous reaction.

Flaunting his buttocks and exposed trunks in the ring, Lesnar later walked up to the gorilla position before yelling,

“F*ck it Stu, I ripped my pants. Blue underwear!”

The moment soon went viral on the internet, even drawing comparisons to the popular SpongeBob meme where he looks behind to see his exposed trunks.

Lesnar is now scheduled to face John Cena at WrestlePalooza next week.

Chris Jericho Reflects On His Intense Moment With Brock Lesnar

A few years ago, at SummerSlam 2016, Brock Lesnar faced off against Randy Orton. However, the match ended violently when Orton was left in a pool of blood by Lesnar.

Later, backstage in the locker room, Lesnar shared an intense moment with Jericho, when the former AEW World Champion confronted Lesnar about his heinous attack on Orton. A couple of years back, during his interview with The Pain Game, Jericho reflected on that moment.

“He was hitting him (Randy Orton) with the elbows. I was just like if this is real, it’s bullsh*t, if it’s being called, it’s still bullsh*t. He’s taking liberties and it pissed me off and I was in Gorilla and I was f*cking angry about it and Brock came through and he saw me angry about it and decided he wanted to come challenge me.

And we got into a little bit of an issue and I was like f*ck this guy I don’t give a sh*t how big he is, like I don’t f*cking care, it’s f*cking wrong and I will fight to the death if I will stand up for what I believe in, to the death and I remember being like literally nose to nose with the guy and he’s laughing and he’s like you know he was actually saying things that would probably get him cancelled.”
