Mark Henry and Bully Ray have contrasting opinions concerning the WWE SummerSlam match between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, and who should win it.
Femi and Lesnar will clash for the third time at SummerSlam, with the 2 having one win apiece. Heading into the third and potentially final clash between them, Henry stated on “Busted Open” that the previous NXT Champion doesn’t necessarily need to win it.
“I do not think it is a must-win situation. And I say that because Brock Lesnar very easily could in some way slip over in that match after which him go to Oba Femi and shake his hand and principally take his boots off right there, put them down and just, you realize, symbolically go, [say to Oba Femi] ‘It’s on you now, man. I’m done.'” said Henry.
Henry said that may not what he desires to see, painting an image where Oba Femi would struggle and in some way defeat Lesnar. On this scenario, Lesnar would attempt to sneak up on Femi, as he has done previously, but this time around, he would raise his opponent’s hand and pass the torch onto him. He feels that Lesnar raising Femi’s hand can be an emotional moment.
Henry’s fellow “Busted Open” co-host, Ray, though, doesn’t see it the identical way, reiterating how Femi has to win the match at SummerSlam. He thinks that Lesnar would wish to put over Femi before he walks into the sunset.
“I thoroughly understand the image you are painting and every little thing that you just’re putting together. I feel Oba must win this. I feel if that is it for Brock, he’ll ensure that that Oba Femi is made before Brock decides to go away for good or as for good as possible until, you realize, TKO decides to dump a boatload of cash into Brock’s lap before they go to WrestleMania next yr,” Ray said.
Femi and Lesnar will meet inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam, a stipulation that WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently questioned.
