Here are three mistakes WWE has already made with Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
#3. Making Brock Lesnar look weak
Brock Lesnar has built his reputation on being one of the most fearless Superstars in WWE history. For years, The Beast Incarnate has walked into fights without hesitation. Whether it was taking on world champions, legends, or entire groups of Superstars, Lesnar never came across as someone who needed protection. That changed on RAW.
Paul Heyman came to the ring with a restraining order and was surrounded by police officers and security guards before Lesnar made his entrance. The segment was clearly designed to show how dangerous Oba Femi has become.
However, it also had an unintended effect. Instead of making Femi look stronger, it made Lesnar look like he was hiding behind security. That is not the image fans associate with The Beast Incarnate. Brock’s character has always been built around confronting danger, not avoiding it.
There were better ways to present Femi as a threat. Making Lesnar look vulnerable in this way takes away some of the aura that has made him one of WWE’s biggest attractions for so many years.
#2. Relying on tired tropes
The security and police angle has become one of WWE’s most overused booking devices. Fans have seen it countless times over the years. A group of security guards surrounds the ring, only for the dominant Superstar to tear through everyone in sight. While it can still work in certain storylines, it has become a very familiar formula.
This feud did not need it. Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar are two of the most dominant Superstars in WWE. Their rivalry has been built around two powerhouses trying to prove who is better. That alone was enough to sell the Hell in a Cell match.
Moreover, the segment did not add anything new to the story. Instead of finding a unique way to build anticipation for the rubber match, WWE fell back on a trope fans have already seen many times before. A simple confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi would have been just as effective because the rivalry already had enough history behind it.
When two stars of this caliber are involved, the creative team does not need to rely on familiar formulas. This was one feud that could have benefited from a fresher approach.
#1. Buried the King of the Ring Tournament
Oba Femi’s promo on RAW raised an interesting point. However, it also created a bigger problem. Femi said that even if he had used his King of the Ring victory to challenge for a world title, Brock Lesnar would have interfered and cost him the match. That was his explanation for choosing Lesnar instead of a champion.
The logic is difficult to follow. By saying that, Femi indirectly suggested that his guaranteed world title opportunity did not really matter. That takes away from the importance of winning King of the Ring, one of WWE’s most prestigious tournaments.
The tournament should open the door to one of the biggest opportunities of a Superstar’s career. Instead, WWE made it sound like the reward could simply be ignored because someone else might interfere. That does not help the prestige of King of the Ring, especially when WWE has spent years rebuilding its importance.
