10 Wrestling Matches That Collapsed In Front Of Everybody
2. Brock Lesnar Vs Roman Reigns (WWE WrestleMania 34)
This, lol, was supposed to be the payoff, lmao, to some significant longterm, rofl, storytelling.
After a year of beating everybody with the F5, Lesnar unleashed that many on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34 that finishers as we knew them were almost lost to grainy Network archives or wrestling completist minds forever. Intentionally designed around generating the biggest reactions from crowds and teasing conclusions that wouldn't come, the relentless F5s failed at both. And they failed over, and over and over again.
Over. Like Roman Reigns wasn't in 2018.
In olden times when WWE stakes and consequences meant more, this would have been catastrophic. As a modern era spectacle, it merely became part of the p*ss-poor empire at large, collapsing in front of everybody like the house of cards the company is.
Hilariously, Reigns was booked to lose anyway. The audience refused to believe it was even possible from the bell, binning off the contest long before it reached its ludicrous end.
