Ranking Roman Reigns' 5 best WWE WrestleMania singles matches

#2 Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar (WWE WrestleMania 34)

Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns faced off in the main event for the second time at WrestleMania 34

WWE has booked Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar as the main event of a WrestleMania event on two separate occasions. The second encounter between Lesnar and Reigns took place at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2018.

Heading into the event, Brock Lesnar had been the WWE Universal Champion for 12 months after defeating Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 33 the prior year. This match between Reigns and Lesnar is certainly very interesting, because if you watch it back, it's a very good match.

The match tells the story of Brock Lesnar brutalizing his opponent, cutting Roman Reigns' head open to cause blood to flow down the Samoan superstar's head, and he grows increasingly frustrated as he is unable to put Roman Reigns away. It is only after the sixth F-5 that Brock Lesnar is finally able to defeat Roman Reigns and retain the WWE Universal Championship.

However, the match is perhaps best remembered for the crowd hijacking the presentation. The WWE Universe believed that Brock Lesnar's WWE contract was set to expire, with Lesnar reported to be once again heading back to UFC. Therefore, many assumed it was a formality that Roman Reigns would win the match and become Universal Champion. Once again, fans began to turn on Reigns as they felt WWE was "forcing" them to cheer for the corporate champion. Venting their frustration, the crowd chanted "boring," "this is awful" and "CM Punk" during the match.

In reality, Brock Lesnar had signed a brief contract extension with WWE and would remain with the promotion until at least the summer. Therefore, Lesnar retained the title, much to the surprise of the WWE Universe. It was an unfortunate situation for both performers as a good match was completely ruined by disgruntled fans who were frustrated with the promotion, not the wrestlers in the ring.
