WWE SummerSlam 2018: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
8. WWE Universal Title: Brock Lesnar (C) Vs. Roman Reigns
Result: Reigns beats Lesnar with a Spear to win the title (6:10).
Rating: This program is finally, hopefully, put to bed. The match itself was exciting enough and sensibly brief, if utterly uninspired as a flagship PPV main event.
The Strowman tease was frustrating, especially as a triple threat would've been infinitely more interesting and ultimately Strowman was only there to keep fans interested in the outcome.
Brock killing Strowman and lobbing the briefcase up the ramp was a fun way to prevent the cash-in, though it felt like the champ went down far too easily for Roman in the end. Finisher spam is boring and all, but another Spear or two wouldn't have hurt.
If the aim of this bloated angle was to make Roman "the one who beat the one", it fell almost completely flat. 5/10
