Oba Femi took out his frustration on police officers during a segment on “Raw”, as he is set to lock horns with Brock Lesnar on night one of “SummerSlam” on August 1.

Femi and Lesnar’s bout will be held in “Hell in a Cell”, a 20-foot cell structure with chain-link fencing known to house brutal and chaotic matches.

The only way to win the match is through pin-fall or submission, unlike the average “Steel Cage” match where escaping the structure would count as a win.

In the latest episode of “Raw”, the “Hell in a Cell” structure was set-up at the Intuit Dome in California, as Femi and Lesnar were set to have a weigh-in.

The weigh-in was officiated by WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H and General Manager Adam Pearce in the presence of police officers to keep the peace.

Femi first weighed in at 302 pounds. 

Lesnar refuses to enter

When Lesnar made his entrance, he refused to enter the 20-foot steel cage.

He instead sealed the entrance door shut with a padlock, as he taunted his opponent from the outside.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a slight change of plans here. To allow Brock Lesnar inside ‘Hell in a Cell’, well, that’s not a very good idea now, is it?” Paul Heyman, Lesnar’s manager, stated.

Heyman then lauded his client as the “single most violent athlete in the history of combat sports,” adding that Femi cannot beat him inside “Hell in a Cell”.

He mentioned that Lesnar got on a scale backstage and weighed in at 303 pounds.

“I’ll see you at ‘SummerSlam’, b*tch,” Lesnar told his opponent as he made his exit.

 Femi unleashes destruction inside the cage

“The Ruler” was not pleased with what transpired, calling out Lesnar and warning him that “Oba Femi is coming.”

“…So regardless of how free you think you are, again, I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me.”

The Nigerian heavyweight then let out his frustration on the police officers inside the cage.

He unloaded strikes, kicks and signature moves at the helpless police officers.

The upcoming bout is Femi and Lesnar’s third match, as Femi won their first outing at “WrestleMania” in April, and Lesnar got his revenge at “Clash in Italy” a month later in “The Ruler’s” first loss in the main roster.

The upcoming bout is also Femi’s first “Hell in a Cell” match as Lesnar had two, both of which were against The Undertaker.
