Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam is a 'generational matchup,' WWE legend JBL says

WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield talks to Fox News Digital about Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi at SummerSlam.

Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar’s feud will come to a head at SummerSlam in August and the showdown has the potential to be WWE’s match of the year.

Femi beat Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 and led to "The Beast Incarnate" deciding to retire – at least for a moment – at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Lesnar made a dramatic return a few weeks later, challenging and beating Femi at Clash in Italy.
