The segment saw the Beast Incarnate deliver a low blow to Femi before leaving the ring. The Ruler then made it clear that he wants to face Lesnar for a third time at SummerSlam. The former WWE Champion accepted the challenge and said it would be inside Hell in a Cell.

While the match already looks big, Booker T believes the stakes could have been higher. Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, the veteran said that ideally, the final match between the two would have seen Femi as a World Champion and Lesnar as a challenger.

“I think the trilogy would be better if Oba had the championship and Brock was challenging. Just because um who’s going to be the underdog going into that match? If he’s the champion, he’s a champion, but that doesn’t make him the favorite. People are still going to be wondering if Brock Lesnar is going to win the championship one more time. I think that’s the build-up for me if I’m booking it,” he said.

Booker T also mentioned that fans could also judge Oba Femi from his run as a King of the Ring winner, saying they would look at how good a King he was.

Reason behind Oba Femi choosing Brock Lesnar over a Title match at SummerSlam

Oba Femi’s decision to forego a Championship opportunity in order to settle the score with Brock Lesnar surprised many people. Now, a report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON) has revealed why WWE went in this direction.

The report mentions that the plan was always for the Nigerian superstar to win King of the Ring, but turn down his Title shot for a match against Lesnar. It was mentioned that the idea behind this is to make the match between Roman Reigns, the current World Heavyweight Champion and Oba Femi as the biggest match possible.

After he made his decision, he was confronted by RAW general manager Adam Pearce backstage. Femi told him that the Title shots would not go anywhere, and he would get them down the line. This suggests a possible showdown with the OTC1 in the future once the feud with The Conqueror is wrapped up.
