Oba Femi comments on moment with Brock Lesnar that “nobody saw coming”
As seen during the 2026 WWE SummerSlam Saturday PLE, Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar in a Hell in a Cell match. Afterwards, Lesnar cut a promo putting over Oba as the future of wrestling.
While speaking to ABC 33/40, Femi addressed the moment…
“I remember him. I see, you know, I see him on his wide back walking away. I’m like, ‘Wow, that was tough.’ And then I see him spin the block. I’m like, ‘Oh man, what’s going on? What do we have now?’
And then he walks back, and I’m on guard. I’m like, ‘Oh, it could be anything.’ And then he comes in, and it’s this big endorsement, very out of character for him, and it’s this huge moment.
So, I’m happy that he trusted enough in his choice to even come back and, like, not just implicitly tell them through the match, but explicitly say, ‘This is our guy.’
[So, you didn’t see that coming at all, that post-match moment?]
Not at all. No, nobody saw it coming. The camera guys, everybody was taken aback. Everybody was surprised that in the 25-year career of Brock Lesnar, he’s never done anything like that.”
