Summary
In the United States, SummerSlam took place at U.S. Bank Stadium, where Oba Femi made history by defeating Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell. The event, which occurred recently, was marked by significant moments, including the return of Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, which somewhat overshadowed the match between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes, as WWE chose to leave that storyline unresolved for a potential WrestleMania showdown. While the match between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar was historic, it was criticized for not fully utilizing the Hell in a Cell structure, as it seemed to serve merely as a containment for the competitors rather than enhancing the match itself. The event also featured notable performances, such as Nick Aldis's impressive in-ring return and WWE debut, alongside a thrilling contest for the Women’s World Championship between Liv Morgan and Iyo Sky, culminating in a surprising heel turn by the Bella Twins. Overall, while the match was a significant moment for Oba Femi, the execution left some fans feeling that it fell short of greatness, raising questions about the effectiveness of the torch-passing moment.
