Lesnar was defeated by Roman Reigns at SummerSlam, however, after Roman needed a time out from the WWE due to Leukemia and retired he was given a shot at the championship at Crown Jewel Event where the Beast Incarnate defeated Braun Strowman to win the Universal Championship.

Lesnar had been planning to return to the UFC in 2019 and had been facing a lot of criticism from the WWE for his decision, with WWE Raw manager Kurt Angle even telling viewers that he may not be receiving a rematch for a long time due to this.

However, the unfortunate remittance of Roman Reigns leukaemia needed the WWE to bring him up to increase viewership and ratings so he was called back and given a chance at the title again.

Just like many of Lesnar's previous major victories in WWE, he landed several ‘F-5’s on Strowman including one where he tossed him right outside the ring.

He ended it by landing one final F-5 that put Strowman down and out letting him win the Universal Championship Title to much of Saudi Arabia’s delight and the world’s mixed response.
