I want Oba to win the King of the Ring. Oba wins King of the Ring and Brock Lesnar absolutely decimates him at that. 10 F5s. “So now Oba is gonna go on to face Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. Oba is so irate about Brock jumping him again; ‘give me Brock Lesnar on night one’. If Oba Femi defeats Brock Lesnar, Brock retires, but if Brock Lesnar defeats Oba Femi, Brock gets his number one contender’s shot and goes on to face Roman Reigns night two of SummerSlam. “What I just laid out gave WWE an opportunity to make Oba Femi their next mega star. Oba defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, Oba Femi retires Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, Oba Femi defeats Roman Reigns at SummerSlam and becomes your champion.
Oba Femi is one of the fastest rising stars in WWE today. So, having him in either or both matches would mark a significant turn in his thriving career in the Sports Entertainment Juggernaut.
