Brock Lesnar's reign of terror is over. After 504 days on top, the now-former Universal Champion was bested by Roman Reigns in a succinct six-minute main event that presented nothing but nonstop action from bell to bell.

With the threat of a Braun Strowman cash-in looming, Reigns blitzed Lesnar with Superman Punches and Spears early on, but Lesnar caught him in a guillotine. 'The Monster' watched on from the outside, having already promised to challenge the victory. He was taken out by a Reigns suicide dive, then mauled by Brock, who put Strowman down with an F5 on the floor, followed by a series of chair-shots.

Lesnar slid back inside, where he was blindsided by one final Spear, then the elementary 1-2-3. Braun had already been immobilised, and the show went off the air with Roman Reigns finally hoisting the Universal Championship aloft.
