This is a really weird one, but considering the fact that it ended with the Beast Incarnate chucking the Universal Title right at Vince McMahon’s face, it has to rank pretty high up in terms of importance.

At ‘Mania 34, Lesnar was defending his Universal Championship against Roman Reigns in the main event. It was a match that very few people wanted to see. Reigns’ main event push was still being firmly rejected by fans. And allowing Reigns to get this spot at the expense of Braun Strowman, who very had much been the best thing in WWE for the better part of a year, was a decision that no one seemed to appreciate.

The bizarre bit came right at the end. Originally it was expected Reigns would get his big moment here and finally put this story to bed. Instead, Vince changed his mind late on and allowed Brock to retain. It baffled many, including the champ.

Understandably the live crowd didn’t like bout and vented their frustration at the competitors. This riled up the Beast who seemed to agree with them in the sense that Vince was mad to book this main event. So after the event concluded he did what any sane gentleman would do and threw a prized title belt straight at his elderly boss. Wrestling.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
