Match Time: 9:15

This match got a lot more hate than it should have in my book. It’s a Brock Lesnar match in 2018; you’re not going to get much more substance than suplexing and finishers.

It also gave us a fairly unique ending, one that also unintentionally grew into controversy surrounding the actual result. Any match that gets people talking is usually a good one.

It was basically nine minutes of half a dozen spears, a few Superman punches, a handful of F-5s and another half dozen suplexes. Trickle in a few kickouts and that’s the lot really.

In the never-ending line of matches where Roman Reigns let everyone know that this was ACTUALLY the time he was going to beat Lesnar, this was the one time where he actually did.

Caught between the cage and the ropes, Lesnar was trapped, and instead of knocking him around or climbing out the other side, Reigns launched himself at The Beast with one last spear.

And spear him he did, straight out of the cage as the panel gave out, sending both men crashing to the arena floor.

The win was given to Lesnar, the assumption being that because he was underneath Reigns, he hit the ground first. But he didn’t really touch the ground at all.

The cage panel held him up while Reigns rolled off him on impact and onto the floor itself, being robbed of a Universal Championship win.
