The action spilled outside the ring, where both men crashed into the steel steps before Femi countered a suplex with one of his own.

He later drove Lesnar shoulder-first into the Hell in a Cell structure and introduced steel chairs into the match.

Lesnar responded by using the steel steps as a weapon before landing two more German suplexes, including one onto a steel chair.

Femi twice escaped Lesnar's F-5 attempts with thunderous chokeslams before delivering his devastating Fall from Grace, only for Lesnar to kick out.

The former WWE champion then connected with three consecutive F-5s, but even that wasn't enough to keep Femi down.

Lesnar Shows Respect After Historic Victory

Frustrated, Lesnar ripped apart the ring mat to expose the wooden boards beneath before planting Femi with a Tombstone Piledriver on the exposed surface.

Despite the punishment, Femi refused to stay down.

He blocked a steel chair attack with his bare hands before delivering one final Fall from Grace to secure the biggest victory of his WWE career.

After the match, Lesnar removed his gloves, shook Femi's hand and embraced him in a powerful moment of respect.
