WWE commentator Joe Tessitore has highlighted Oba Femi's rapid rise as a top star. He compared the wrestler's presence to that of Brock Lesnar ahead of their Hell in a Cell match.
Tessitore spoke on ESPN First Take about Femi, the 2026 King of the Ring winner. The two will meet inside the Hell in a Cell structure at SummerSlam on August 1.
Following Femi's victory over Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 and Lesnar's win in their Clash In Italy rematch, this bout is expected to be their final clash.
Tessitore said of Femi: "The air changes when he enters an arena. We experienced it just recently at Madison Square Garden, he came out before we went on the air and just cut a promo. The place goes crazy."
He added that Femi has established himself quickly as the unbeatable beast of his generation, much like Lesnar did before him.
