Lesnar Vs. Femi Headlines WWE SummerSlam In Minnesota

Brock Lesnar will step into Hell in a Cell against Oba Femi at WWE SummerSlam this weekend, a rubber match that could close the book on the 49-year-old's legendary run.

The two-night event runs Aug. 1-2 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Lesnar's home state, where he won an NCAA Division I wrestling title years before his crossover combat sports career. MMA Mania reports that Lesnar left his gloves and boots in the ring after losing to Femi at WrestleMania 42 before returning to beat "The Ruler" at Clash in Italy. No official retirement announcement has been made, though the Minneapolis setting has fueled speculation that Saturday's cage bout serves as Lesnar's real sendoff.

Championship Fights Anchor Weekend Card

SummerSlam goes live at 6 p.m. ET each night on ESPN Unlimited. CM Punk defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes on Saturday before Roman Reigns puts the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Seth Rollins on Sunday. The card also features Liv Morgan defending the Women's World Championship against Iyo Sky and an Interim WWE Women's Championship Ladder Match on the Sunday slate with Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton, and a mystery opponent.

The weekend runs opposite UFC Belgrade, which airs earlier Saturday as a morning Fight Night event. Lesnar has "fooled everyone before" on retirement talk, per MMA Mania, leaving the door open for another comeback even if he walks away this weekend.
