For the WWE Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar (c)/w Paul Heyman vs. Roman Reigns

Ad

You have to give it up for WWE. They gave the audience the hint that Paul Heyman might be a factor; it didn't happen. They added a twist in the form of Braun Strowman cashing in like a man after the match; it didn't happen. That led to an opening fury by Roman Reigns heading to a squash; it didn't happen.

Instead what did happen was that not only does Brock Lesnar look dumb or scared, maybe even both for trying to neutralize Braun Strowman. But Strowman also looks dumb for being so close to the action. At the end who else but Roman Reigns benefits from this?

Ad

Maybe the fans, because the championship is finally on RAW every night. The WWE pulled off a beautiful troll job. The only problem is they might not ever have had to, had they done right by Roman or even Braun. All in all, this is smart, fun but it feels like four years could have come earlier.

Roman Reigns pins a distracted Brock Lesnar and wins, he is now the NEW WWE Universal Champion!
