Oba Femi has a new date added to his schedule following his major victory over Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. WWE has confirmed that the 2026 King of the Ring will appear on the August 21 episode of SmackDown from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.
Femi has been gaining momentum since his call-up to the main roster earlier this year. After closing the chapter on his rivalry with Lesnar following a Hell in a Cell victory at SummerSlam, attention has quickly shifted to what comes next.
Oba Femi SmackDown appearance details
The announcement of Femi appearing on SmackDown has raised questions, as he is currently part of the RAW roster. WWE has not provided a specific reason for his appearance on the blue brand, especially with the show still weeks away.
Femi’s recent interaction with Bron Breakker on RAW suggested that he has several major targets in mind moving forward. As the reigning King of the Ring, he holds a guaranteed World Championship opportunity, which adds further intrigue to his upcoming appearances.
Before settling on RAW, Femi had already built a strong record on SmackDown earlier in the year. He went 4-0 during his initial run, picking up victories over Johnny Gargano, Kit Wilson on two occasions, and The Miz. He also competed in two dark matches before officially transitioning to RAW full-time.
His victory over Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam marked one of the biggest wins of his career so far. The result established Femi as a serious contender at the top level of WWE.
With his guaranteed title opportunity still in hand and a SmackDown appearance now confirmed, Femi’s next move remains a key storyline to watch. Whether his appearance is connected to a potential championship direction or a new rivalry is not yet known.
