Since the start of the year, Oba Femi has been one of the most talked-about wrestlers in WWE and around the world. He is renowned for his strength, agility, and impressive physique.

Lesnar, who celebrated his 49th birthday in July, competed in his record-setting tenth SummerSlam main event. The match carried added significance as it took place in Minnesota, the state from which Lesnar is billed.

The night’s main event saw Oba Femi finally put an end to their trilogy of encounters. Femi emerged victorious after delivering a devastating Fall from Grace, overcoming Lesnar despite “The Beast” planting him with a tombstone onto the exposed wooden boards beneath the ring.

Their rivalry stretched across much of 2026. Femi first defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 before Lesnar evened the score with a victory at Clash in Italy. SummerSlam served as the deciding chapter, with Femi securing the series win.
