He did win the King of the Ring Tournament at Night of Champions after all and appeared set to choose his opponent for SummerSlam – Roman Reigns or Sami Zayn. Instead, Brock Lesnar interrupted Femi to a huge ovation.

Lesnar spoke to Femi, calling “The Ruler” out for all the trash talk he’s done while Lesnar had been away from the show. But Lesnar wanted to teach Femi a lesson.
“Talk s—, get hit,” Lesnar said before kicking Femi in the groin and delivering an F5 to the big man.
But it wasn’t enough to keep Femi down. He got back up and challenged Lesnar to a match at SummerSlam at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Lesnar accepted but went a step further. He said the match will take place in a Hell in a Cell. The crowd went crazy and it was later made official.

Raw general manager Adam Pearce made sure that Femi was OK with possibly putting off his title shot for the time being.
“The title is always going to be there. The championships are not going anywhere,” Femi assured Pearce. “I’ll take that when I want it. … It needs to happen. This needs to end and I will be the one to put an end to it.”
Femi and Lesnar have been at each other’s throats since before WrestleMania 42. Lesnar answered Femi’s open challenge, sparking a match at WrestleMania 42. Femi defeated Lesnar and led to Lesnar, at least for a moment, deciding to retire from pro wrestling.
