The Miz Implies That Brock Lesnar’s Moment With Oba Femi Post-Match At SummerSlam Was Not Planned

The Miz discusses Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi’s moment after their WWE SummerSlam match, implying that it was not planned.

During night one of WWE SummerSlam earlier this month, Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar would main event the show, facing off inside Hell In A Cell. After the match, Brock would note that Oba was the future, passing the torch to Femi.

While speaking to TMZ Sports in a new interview, The Miz spoke about what surprised him about night one of SummerSlam.

“I think everyone was shocked about Brock Lesnar, and it wasn’t the fact that he lost. It was the fact that after the match, he was walking out of the ring and then turned back around and basically, as we call it, gave Oba Femi the rub. Which- people don’t understand, creative didn’t tell (him.) Brock does what Brock wants to do. Brock isn’t told something, when he feels it he just goes after it and does it. He’s a one of one. He’s literally, you’ll never see a talent like Brock Lesnar ever again. He was the next big thing, and then he passed the torch to what he believes is the next big thing, and that is a lot of pressure for Oba Femi. But I think Oba Femi is the type of talent that can withstand that pressure and hopefully be the next big thing in his own right, and I thought that was incredibly special.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, The Miz spoke about a pitch that he had rejected regarding an Intercontinental Title gauntlet. You can read more about that here.
