After Reigns won the 2015 Royal Rumble match, he's next step forward was to take on The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar. Lesnar successfully retained his title at the Royal Rumble PPV where he faced not one, not three, but two other Superstars in a triple threat match involving Seth Rollins and John Cena. Lesnar had all the momentum going into this match as he ended The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania XXX.

At the 31st edition of the Show of Shows, Reigns clashed with Lesnar in a very hard-hitting match. Reigns was manhandled by Lesnar and The Beast delivered an F5 as soon as the match started and took Reigns to Suplex City. Lesnar threw Reigns all over the ring and delivered more F5s but Reigns managed to kick-out of all of them. The two went outside where The Beast tried to drive Reign's face into the ring post, but the latter prevented it and Lesnar hit his head on the ring post instead, causing him to be busted open.

Reigns capitalized on this and delivered a few Superman punches to Lesnar and two Spears for a near-fall. Fans were on their toes the whole time and as soon as Reigns hit the first Superman punch, everyone came to life.

After Reigns tried to go for another Spear, Lesnar caught him and delivered an F5, and both men were glued to the canvas.

Suddenly, Seth Rollins' music hits, and out came Mr. Money in the Bank, who turned the match into a triple threat and pinned Reigns to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Both the singles and the triple threat matches were good and memorable.
