Mark Henry And Bully Ray Split Over SummerSlam Prediction
One of the biggest events at WWE SummerSlam is still up for grabs in a debate for its host. Recently, WWE Hall of Fame inductees Mark Henry and Bully Ray had wildly different takes on the all-important matchup between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi.
The two powerhouses will face off again in the third battle at SummerSlam. Both Superstars have won one battle in the competition already. Their next fight will decide who will be the victor. The fight will also be held within the Hell in a Cell structure which makes it even bigger.
Mark Henry Believes Oba Femi Doesn’t Need The Victory
On the latest episode of Busted Open, Mark Henry stated that he doesn’t feel Oba Femi is in need of a win over Brock Lesnar to move forward in WWE.
Rather, Henry proposed a memorable finish which would serve the interests of both competitors. He pictured Lesnar coming out of the ring after a tough fight and handing over the baton to Femi.
“Now it’s your turn, man, I’m done,” said Henry
Henry said this emotional moment may be as significant as the game. He thinks the recognition of Femi by Lesnar publicly would raise the young star of the game to the level of instant stars no matter what the outcome is.
Henry also outlined one particular scenario in which both will push themselves to the breaking point before finally showing respect to Lesnar.
We need to fight for Oba Femi to win, says Bully Ray
Bully Ray was not on board with Henry’s opinion. If WWE is looking to make Oba Femi one of the next big names, he said the victory should come with the man leaving SummerSlam, and he’s right.
Ray thinks if this were the end of Brock Lesnar’s WWE legend, then the former WWE Champion would want to help create a new show daddy.
Ray was adamant that if they beat Lesnar, they were immediately earning Femi’s respect and making him a legitimate main-event talent, even though they did not agree with Henry’s opinion.
Hell In A Cell: The stakes are raised
The competition will take a whole new level inside Hell in a Cell, one of WWE’s most dangerous match environments. This additional condition has already sparked comments from the wrestling community.
But not everyone is happy with the decision. Kevin Nash, a WWE Hall of Famer, has voiced doubts that the Hell in a Cell stipulation is actually needed.
In spite of those views, there are high expectations to be met. The series is tied at 1-1, and SummerSlam will be the show that will decide the match. The result will certainly impact WWE’s future as it will continue to be unstable regardless of the outcome, whether Brock Lesnar adds a victory or Oba Femi records his biggest wins of his career.
