This past weekend, Oba Femi defeated Jey Uso to win the King of the Ring tournament at Night of Champions, earning himself a world title shot at SummerSlam this upcoming August. Nonetheless, the next Monday on “WWE Raw,” Femi forfeited his world title opportunity when Brock Lesnar returned and challenged him to a Hell In A Cell match at “The Biggest Party of the Summer.”
The match will mark the third battle between Femi and Lesnar this 12 months, but “The Ruler’s” decision caused frustration among the many WWE Universe, with many feeling that the King of the Ring tournament was pointless now that the winner is not getting a championship opportunity at SummerSlam. Moreover, fans were concerned that Femi won’t get his title shot in any respect, but in keeping with Dave Meltzer on the “Wrestling Observer Radio,” the young star will likely reap the advantages of his King of the Ring victory next 12 months.
“He’ll get his championship match. I believe it’ll be at WrestleMania … Perhaps Brock didn’t need to make the trip, or possibly they simply wanted Oba to not lose twice,” he said. “They wanted him to wear the crown … I’m not surprised, I mean, it doesn’t suck, it isn’t the primary, tenth or fifteenth time this has been done. It’s just how they resolve to do their business. I mean, I believe from a business standpoint, they got nothing greater than Roman Reigns against Oba Femi and that is the WrestleMania match most certainly. So, did he must win King of the Ring? Could they’ve done Lesnar? Could Lesnar have interfered?”
While Femi is locked inside Hell In A Cell with Lesnar, Roman Reigns will as an alternative defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, as he’ll try and cleanly defeat “The Visionary” in singles motion for the primary time in his profession.
