Lesnar spoke to Femi, calling out “The Ruler” for all the trash talk he said while Lesnar was away from the show. But Lesnar wanted to teach Femi a lesson.
“Talk shit, get hit,” Lesnar said before kicking Femi in the groin and delivering an F5 to the big man.
But that wasn’t enough to hold Femi back. He got back up and challenged Lesnar to a match at SummerSlam at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Lesnar agreed but went further. He said the match would take place in a Hell in a Cell. The crowd went crazy and it was then made official.

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce made sure Femi was OK with possibly postponing his title shot for the time being.
“The title will still be there. The championships won’t go anywhere,” Femi assured Pearce. “I’ll take this whenever I want it. … This has to happen. This has to end and I’ll be the one to end it.”
Femi and Lesnar faced off well before WrestleMania 42. Lesnar responded to Femi’s open challenge, setting up a match at WrestleMania 42. Femi defeated Lesnar and led to Lesnar, at least for a moment, deciding to retire from professional wrestling.
