WWE Monday Night RAW took place on July 13, 2026, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The show featured another appearance by Brock Lesnar as his rivalry with Oba Femi continued to heat up. With SummerSlam just weeks away, fans were waiting to see what happened next between the two stars.
Lesnar and Femi had been locked in a bitter rivalry ever since Oba shocked The Beast at WrestleMania 42. Lesnar got even with a win at Clash in Italy, but the score was far from settled. After winning the 2026 King of the Ring tournament, Femi turned down a guaranteed world championship match because he wanted another fight with Lesnar instead.
That decision led to Brock Lesnar challenging Femi to a Hell in a Cell match at SummerSlam, and The Ruler quickly accepted. Since then, the two had continued taking shots at each other whenever they shared the ring. This week’s RAW added another chapter to one of WWE’s biggest rivalries heading into SummerSlam.
This week’s episode of WWE RAW kicked off with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman making their way to the ring. They also had a fleet of law enforcement officers with them, all looking like they were brought in from the closest indie wrestling company. Fans were very loud as they chanted Oba Femi’s name before Heyman got started.
Paul Heyman cut a promo on Oba Femi, where he called him a Nigerian dummy. He also said that Oba can “talk sh*t and get hit.” Heyman said that Brock is obsessed with this match, because he can’t wait to get inside Hell in a Cell with Oba Femi.
Then it was revealed that Paul Heyma went to a judge in Dallas to get a restraining order on Oba Femi for Brock Lesnar. Now Oba can’t come within 100 feet from Heyman. Heyman revealed that he got a restraining order on Lesnar too, and that is when Oba Femi’s music hit, and he came out to confront him.
Oba Femi got in the ring, and the police blocked him off from getting to Brock Lesnar. Heyman informed Oba that he’s in violation of the restraining order, so they tried to arrest him. That is when Oba Femi started destroying all the cops in the ring, and they all took bumps like trained pro wrestlers. Fans exploded as the police sold the brutal assault at ringside.
After Oba Femi got on the microphone to call out Brock Lesnar, “Where’s the Beast? You used to run this place, now all you do is run away.” Oba Femi said that Brock would have cost him a title match at SummerSlam if he would have taken it anyway. He said that Lesnar can’t run from him at Hell in a Cell. Fans were ready for this war, but they will have to wait a bit longer for SummerSlam on August 1 and 2nd. Ringside News will have full coverage of the two-day event.
