Bully Ray commented on Oba Femi's decision to face Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam instead of pursuing a world title shot. Ray praised WWE's storytelling in the buildup to the match, highlighting a segment involving Paul Heyman and Adam Pearce, which framed Femi's choice as significant. Femi won the men's King of the Ring tournament but chose to target Lesnar after being attacked on WWE Raw. This decision has been positioned as more appealing than any championship match, according to Ray. Other matches confirmed for SummerSlam include Roman Reigns versus Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight title and Liv Morgan against Iyo Sky for the Women's World Championship.
