What they're saying

"
Now, inside Hell in a Cell, hopefully after a 10+ minute match in which we see Oba and Brock both destroy each other but refuse to lose, Femi will tap into that gear that will carry him to the top of the WWE for the next 15 years, and the gear that an older Lesnar no longer has, and establish his spot at the top.
