How did Obafemi and Brock Lesnar set up their SummerSlam Hell in a Cell match?
Obafemi postpones glory and chooses a match with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Danhausen is haunting the Judgment Day as Liv Morgan prepares for EO Sky. Seth Rollins puts out a challenge that Roman Reigns accepts. All this and so much more. This is the Raw Recap on WWE Now, a WWE and Fanatics original production.
Oh, Megan, we knew. We knew. And we talked about this, actually, going into Night of Champions. You and I had many a discussion about how so many of the matches had these ramifications that I don't think people even took into account, like the branch-off effect. That all the different results would have and the fact that we would roll right out of Night of Champions and be on this road to SummerSlam, a now two-night stadium event that is bigger than it's ever been. Well, if anyone didn't believe that to be true, I think that Monday Night Raw proved that it indeed was.
Well, on a weekend just filled with so much wrestling, we didn't have any time to come down to earth and settle because already we're talking about massive SummerSlam matches that we got graphics for tonight.
There were multiple. Yeah, we have one graphic coming out of Night of Champions. One. One. But now? I mean, we're really... This card is really taking shape. And I want to start with something that did indeed produce a graphic. So building up... To the King of the Ring and the finals and Oba Femi beating Jey Uso at Night of Champions. So many scenarios were thrown around from all of us that opine. Could it be this one going after Oba or Oba will go after that one? Would it be, you know, on Monday Night Raw last week, Oba called out Roman Reigns to an extent. But then on SmackDown, he stared down Cody Rhodes.
And reminded us all of Saturday night's main event and thought, hey, I would love that match as well.
But then Cody Rhodes wasn't even the champion.
No, he wasn't.
Coming out of the Night of Champions PLE. So we get to Monday Night Raw and Obathemi starts the show as the king. And he has his entrance and Atlantic City goes absolutely wild. As they should. For Obathemi. And he walks out there and he's holding his crown as king. And he says that.
And that's a pretty big crown, but Oba's hands are just so massive.
Yeah, that's the thing. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, except his head was already super heavy. Exactly. He's a big guy, this Oba Femi. Luckily, he's got those big shoulders, that big neck. It all maintains itself. So he's got that crown and he says, that was a reception befitting of a ruler. But now a reception befitting of a king. And you're just like, yeah, dude, I mean, Obafemi at this point can really do no wrong. That's true. You just, you look at him and, you know, a lot of times there are a lot of superstars that have struggled with the idea that it is very clear that That the WWE looks at this star as a marquee talent that is going to be a star for the next several years. John Cena had a tough time when fans said, we figured out that WWE wants him to be a star for the next 15 years.
Think back to Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns had a tough time when fans said that. I mean, the powers that be were literally doing media leading up to Night of Champions telling you straight up Obafemi's going to be a massive star in this industry for the next 15 plus years. And there is nothing about seeing Obafemi that doesn't just scream that that is true.
This is one that everybody is on board with because Oba is completely undeniable in every single thing that he's done.
Yeah. And when he starts talking about destiny, I feel like he's not defined by destiny. Destiny is defined by him.
Yes.
The world is at his fingertips. And just as he's about to get into it, just as he's about... Because we left Night of Champions without knowing... which champion Obafemi was going to face.
And we knew that tonight Obafemi had a decision to make.
Right.
Just as he's about to get into the decision.
And then, boom! The Beast's music plays. Barack... Brock Lesnar shows up on Monday Night Raw. And I mean, the fact that like Brock is just in the habit of showing up unannounced.
