King of the Ring Winner Oba Femi Expected to Reveal SummerSlam Title Challenge on Raw

Oba Femi walked out of Night of Champions as King of the Ring, and now all eyes are on which championship he’ll be targeting at SummerSlam.

Femi punched his ticket to the summer’s biggest event by defeating Jey Uso in the King of the Ring final on Saturday, earning himself a World title opportunity in the process. It’s a significant milestone for the Nigerian Giant, who has steadily built momentum since arriving on the main roster, and the King of the Ring crown puts him squarely in the conversation at the top of the card.

The one question still hanging in the air: which title does he want? Femi has yet to publicly declare his intentions, but Raw is expected to provide that answer. He is set to open the show, and the assumption is that he’ll finally tip his hand and name the championship — and the champion — he’s coming for at SummerSlam.

The decision carries real weight. Depending on which belt Femi sets his sights on, it reshapes the SummerSlam landscape considerably and signals exactly how WWE views his ceiling heading into the second half of the year. A King of the Ring winner choosing his moment is one of the more compelling pieces of post-tournament drama the format offers, and Femi stepping up to kick off the night suggests WWE is treating it accordingly.

It shapes up to be a must-watch opening segment, with the fallout from Night of Champions still fresh and a major championship picture about to get a lot clearer.
