WWE confirmed key matches for its SummerSlam event during the June 29 episode of Monday Night Raw in Atlantic City. The card now includes a high-stakes bout between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell, as well as a World Heavyweight Championship match featuring Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins.
Match Details
Oba Femi, who recently won the King of the Ring title, opted to forgo a guaranteed title shot to settle his feud with Lesnar. This decision was confirmed on-screen by WWE official Adam Pearce. Lesnar, who interrupted Femi's celebration, accepted the challenge but added the stipulation of a Hell in a Cell match, intensifying the rivalry that began prior to WrestleMania.
In addition to the Femi-Lesnar match, the SummerSlam card will also feature Iyo Sky defending her Women's World Championship against Liv Morgan. These matchups are part of WWE's strategy to promote SummerSlam well in advance, ensuring fans are aware of the marquee attractions.
