Accolades keep coming in for Oba Femi.
As noted, The Ruler conquered The Beast Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell in the main event of SummerSlam: Minnesota Night One.
Thanks to his legacy-defining victory, Femi has become the first-ever recipient of the ESPN “Moment of the Night” belt. WWE analyst Sam Roberts presented Oba with the belt following Night One. Femi described his triumph over Lesnar as an ‘awesome moment’ and also noted that the entire show went quite well.
Earlier this week, ESPN announced that it would honor a talent with the ‘Moment of the Night’ award on each night of this year’s SummerSlam.
