3 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Night Of Champions 2026 (Results & Review)
2. No Messing About With Oba
Minutes after Brock Lesnar inexplicably defeated Oba Femi and ended his undefeated streak, several fans and critics began planning for a very likely scenario: Brock would show up at the King of the Ring finals to cost Femi the tournament, setting up their rubber match at SummerSlam.
Thankfully, we didn’t have to live through that – and King Jey Uso – because Oba steamrolled Jey in a mediocre but unfussy match that saw Uso throw a half-dozen superkicks, nail a spear, and hit a couple splashes, all to no avail. Jey managed to avoid an early Fall from Grace and hung around for a bit, but Femi finished him in eight minutes for the crown.
Afterward, Oba cut another great promo, where he said that Jey didn’t understand that he wasn’t just up against a man, he was up against fate and destiny. Femi cast a warning to whomever he chooses to face at SummerSlam: He is The Ruler, the destroyer, the slayer of Beasts, and the mountain they can’t climb.
WWE has lightning in a bottle with Oba Femi. Do not try to stretch this out until WrestleMania 43. Crown him now while he’s nuclear and ride that wave. This was step one, and WWE deserves credit for avoiding the temptation to do what they almost always do.
