EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Lagos born wrestler survived a brutal encounter against one of WWE’s most decorated competitors before securing victory with his trademark Fall From Grace move.

Lesnar dominated parts of the match, delivering repeated German suplexes and attacking Femi with the steel steps.

The former champion also executed a Tombstone on Femi onto exposed wooden boards beneath the ring.

However, Femi refused to stay down and responded with two chokeslams as both wrestlers exchanged heavy attacks.

The decisive moment came when Lesnar attempted to use a steel chair.

Femi knocked the weapon out of Lesnar’s hands with a right punch before delivering the Fall From Grace to secure the victory.

After the match, Lesnar embraced Femi and publicly described the Nigerian wrestler as the future of WWE.

The former champion reportedly told the audience that he represented the past, while Femi represented the future of the company.

Reacting to the gesture, Femi said he was surprised by Lesnar’s public show of respect.

“The hug and public endorsement was definitely a shock, and I didn’t see that coming,” he said.

“I know that deep down, Brock has always respected me, and he knows that deep down, I respect him as well.”

The SummerSlam victory extended Femi’s impressive run in 2026.

The Nigerian wrestler had earlier defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 in April before winning the King of the Ring tournament in June.

Their latest encounter brought an end to a rivalry that intensified after Lesnar returned from an apparent retirement and attacked Femi.

Lesnar later defeated the Nigerian in a rematch at Clash in Italy before the two wrestlers met again for their final showdown at SummerSlam.
