Bobby Lashley defeated Brock Lesnar in a controversial fashion

Bobby Lashley can finally say he's one of the few men in WWE to beat Brock Lesnar in a singles competition.

The two behemoths slugged it out in a knock-down, drag-out fight for the WWE Championship. The exhilarating and hard-hitting action had fans in St. Louis on edge throughout the bout. However, things took an unpredictable turn when the referee got caught in the action. Lesnar planted Lashley with an F5, but there was no one to make the count.

WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns used this opportunity to sneak into the ring and speared Lesnar. He asked Paul Heyman to hand him the WWE title. The Tribal Chief used the title to smash Lesnar across the face, allowing Lashley to make the cover for the three counts.
