Lesnar then grabbed a microphone and declared, “I’m the past, and this is the future.”
The moment came after Oba Femi defeated Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell at U.S. Bank Stadium, capping a main-event showdown that left fans stunned.
The segment drew huge reactions, with some fans calling it “picture-of-the-year” material and pointing to Bron Breakker watching as Lesnar praised Femi.
The segment quickly became one of the most talked-about scenes from SummerSlam night one, with fans framing it as a rare and powerful endorsement from a wrestling legend to a rising star.
The message was clear as Lesnar positioned himself as the past, and Oba Femi as WWE’s next big name.
