The two major stars of WWE were locked inside the monstrous structure and nearly ripped the ring apart. Lesnar did as much as he could. He took Femi to Suplex City, but it didn’t have much effect on “The Ruler.” Lesnar crushed Femi with the steel steps and hit him with multiple F5s but still couldn’t keep him down.

For his last act, Lesnar ripped the canvas to expose the wood blocks underneath. He hit Femi with a tombstone piledriver in an apparent nod to The Undertaker. He came within a millisecond of beating Femi.

But Femi kicked out and delivered a Fall from Grace. He finally was able to pin Lesnar and conquer someone who was deemed to be unconquerable. Femi celebrated the victory in the ring as Lesnar and Paul Heyman watched.

Lesnar got the last word.

“This is the future, ladies and gentlemen,” Lesnar said, referencing Femi. “This is the past. This is the future.”

Lesnar seemingly retired after losing to Femi the first time at WrestleMania 42. He left his boots in the ring and waved goodbye to the crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. While Lesnar looked teary-eyed, he raised Femi’s hand as the premium live event went off the air.

Femi is clearly the next person in line to get a title shot and his eyes will certainly be on the outcome of the World Heavyweight Championship match between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins on Night 2 of SummerSlam.

Triple H Finally Addresses Major WWE Controversy; Sends Message To The Locker Room

Published

on

Triple H has been under the crosshairs of a lot of fan criticism over the last few years due to his booking decisions as the Head of WWE’s creative. The Game currently serves as the Chief Content Officer in the company and is responsible for a lot of major creative decisions there. He recently addressed the controversy regarding his process of determining which stars to push into the main event spot and major storylines.

One of the biggest fan concerns with WWE’s booking over the last few years is the lack of young talent in the main event spots. Even at this year’s WrestleMania, both main events featured wrestlers who have been active for more than 10 years and all past the age of 40. While in AEW, MJF held the company’s World title for the majority of this year and he just recently turned 30.

At the SummerSlam post-show, Triple H was asked about how some stars might feel like they are not receiving the main event spot that they should be in. The Game responded to the question by sending a message to the locker room about his mentality.

“And.. you know whenever anybody says like I don’t know why I’m not in that spot like, I don’t know, are you more over than Cody? Are you more over than Roman? Are you more over than Punk? Are you more over than Liv? IYO? Right? Those people are in that spot. Get there, start to make those crowd reactions happen. Whatever you need to make it happen, that’s what’s we’re all here to do. So um I love that mentality,” he said. [48:49 onwards]

There are a lot of young stars in WWE right now who are potential future WrestleMania main-eventers.

Triple H has teased that Nick Aldis might return to the ring again in WWE

Tensions between Nick Aldis and Gunther had been building up over the last few months ever since the Ring General joined the SmackDown roster. Things got out of control after both stars got into a physical altercation after the Night of Champions and Aldis cost Gunther the match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Triple H announced the match between the two for SummerSlam at the Kickoff show for the Biggest Party of the Summer.

Aldis made his in-ring return for the first time in nearly three years but lost to Gunther. During the post-show, Triple H talked about the National Treasure’s return and stated that he might wrestle once again.

“I have to admit, I was emotional for him knowing him as a human being, and I was really excited for him. So, incredibly proud of him and what he accomplished tonight, and gunther as well. But as far as will it happen again? Never say never. I would have never said never about him being in there tonight, and here we are. So let’s see. Let’s see where it goes,” he said. [38:55 – 39:25]

It will be interesting to see if Nick Aldis will be competing more often in the WWE moving forward.
