Jey Uso and Oba Femi collide in the King of the Ring Tournament Final at WWE Night of Champions, with Roman Reigns demanding Jey win without help. Femi arrives after a Fatal 4-Way first-round victory and a dominant semifinal over Dominik Mysterio—while Jey has
The build-up has felt inevitable for Oba Femi—until the moment Roman Reigns made the demand that changes everything.
In the King of the Ring Tournament Final at WWE Night of Champions, “Main Event” Jey Uso is set to collide with Oba Femi. The stakes aren’t abstract. Reigns has tasked Jey with winning King of the Ring without any help, even with The Bloodline reunited.
For Femi, the path to the final has looked like momentum turning into something closer to a statement. After conquering Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, Femi fell short against The Beast in a rematch at WWE Clash in Italy. He regrouped quickly—then looked like he’d learned exactly what the tournament would require.
In the first round, Femi earned a Fatal 4-Way victory over Intercontinental Champion Penta, Solo Sikoa, and Carmelo Hayes. Then he turned the semifinal into an audition of control, dominating AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio. “The Ruler” is arriving with the kind of aura that makes opponents feel like they’re always one step behind.
Jey’s own road to the final has been tougher in a different way—less about overwhelming others and more about shutting down threats in front of him. With Roman Reigns placing the responsibility squarely on his shoulders. Jey bested LA Knight. Royce Keys and Finn Bálor in the first round. In the semifinals, he grounded the “bouncy” Je’Von Evans.
Now the question hanging over Night of Champions is simple. and it’s personal: will Femi keep rolling and take his place as king?. Or will the former World Heavyweight Champion use the pressure of being ordered to win alone to carve out a different ending—one that could translate into a world title opportunity for The Bloodline at SummerSlam?.
WWE Night of Champions streams live Saturday, June 27, at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on the ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited plan in the United States and on Netflix internationally.
