Overview
- The final Raw build opened with a Hell in a Cell weigh‑in where Adam Pearce announced Oba Femi at 302 pounds and Paul Heyman said he weighed Brock Lesnar at 303 backstage.
- Lesnar refused to enter the Cell, locked the door from the outside and taunted Femi before leaving the arena, with Heyman vouching for Lesnar's dominance in Cell matches.
- Frustrated, Femi attacked the police and security inside the ring, a repeat visual that emphasized his menace but prompted critics to call the segment hard to believe.
- Coverage and analysts were split on whether the stunt heightened interest in the trilogy rubber match or wasted a key promotional moment ahead of SummerSlam.
- Former wrestler Mark Henry told reporters he expects Femi to win and predicted Lesnar could retire after SummerSlam, a viewpoint reported as opinion not official booking.
