Paul Heyman cut an epic promo in a vignette, which essentially served as a promotion for the Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar trilogy match at SummerSlam 2026. What was interesting was that WWE subtly teased a 24-year-old record being shattered by Femi.

    Admittedly, it's not some big streak like how Brock Lesnar broke The Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania 30 in 2014. However, it's still an interesting record nonetheless. Brock Lesnar has participated in a Hell in a Cell match only twice in his career - both against The Undertaker. The first time was in 2002 when he defended the WWE Championship against The Phenom. The second time was in 2015, when he defeated The Undertaker to end his legendary WrestleMania streak. Lesnar's own "streak" or "record" is that he is undefeated inside Hell in a Cell, which isn't a claim that many people can make.

    In the vignette, Paul Heyman said that Oba Femi wasn't going to end Brock Lesnar's record of being undefeated inside Hell in a Cell, which was likely a direct tease of Oba actually ending his undefeated Hell in a Cell run.

    Further, Paul Heyman also called Femi "Oba-rated". He even said that Oba Femi had the best rookie year in WWE history since Brock Lesnar. This was admittedly being a bit generous because Lesnar had a much bigger impact in 2002, which isn't a knock on Femi by any means. It's simply the fact that Lesnar entered in an era where megastars like The Rock and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin were phasing out of WWE full-time.

    With that said, it's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out on RAW and SummerSlam. In just under two weeks, The Ruler will get his chance at revenge when he steps into Hell in a Cell for the first time in his career.
