Oba Femi Wins King of the Ring, Will Announce SummerSlam Challenge on June 22 Raw

Oba Femi is the 2026 King of the Ring. At WWE Night of Champions, Femi defeated Jey Uso in the tournament finals to claim the crown — and with it, a championship opportunity of his choosing at SummerSlam later this year in Minnesota.

Michael Cole announced on commentary during the event that Femi will reveal his SummerSlam target on the June 22 edition of WWE Raw. That announcement sets up what figures to be a significant moment on the red brand, as Femi — one of WWE’s most physically imposing rising stars — publicly declares which title and champion he’s setting his sights on.

Femi has been on a steady upward trajectory in WWE, and a King of the Ring victory is one of the most storied accolades in company history, a launching pad that has elevated careers for decades. Winning it by going through Jey Uso, one of Raw’s most popular figures, only adds to the credibility of the result.

SummerSlam in Minnesota will be one of the year’s marquee premium live events, and Femi’s decision on June 22 will go a long way toward shaping the card. Fans tuning into Raw next week will find out exactly who — and what title — the new King has in his crosshairs.
