WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar with Paul Heyman vs. Roman Reigns - Steel Cage Match
Heyman did the big ring introduction for Brock.
It's pinfall, submission or escape.
They circled each other and Brock caught Roman and snapped him with a series of German suplexes. The storyline the announcers were telling, especially Corey Graves, was that Brock had Roman's number. Lesnar nailed another one, then snapped Roman with a F5. Roman made a comeback with a series of Superman punches and went for a spear. Brock caught him but Reigns grabbed the cage and almost scaled over the cage but Lesnar grabbed his chest protector and pulled him out. Lesnar scaled the cage but was pulled down by Roman. Brock did not look like he was confident being up there. Roman pulled him down into a powerbomb out of the corner.
Roman and Brock struggled to get to their feet as they showed Samoa Joe watching from backstage. Roman rammed Brock into the cage. He did it again and Lesnar bounced off the steel. Reigns nailed a spear and set up for another. He nailed another spear. Roman hit the trifecta, but Lesnar kicked up at two.
Roman called for the door to be opened and went to walk out of the cage, but Heyman did his best Terry Gordy and slammed it on Roman. Lesnar slammed Reigns and scored a two count. Heyman opened the cage door and slid a steel chair into the ring for Lesnar. Brock grabbed it but before he could utilize it, Reigns speared him again for another two count.
Roman smashed Lesnar across the back and then across the side. Reigns continued beating the Universal Champion down. Reigns drilled another Superman Punch. Reigns speared Lesnar into the cage. The cage broke. Lesnar crashed down with Roman atop of him. The referee ruled that Lesnar hit the floor first.
Your winner and still WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar!
Pretty damn creative finish. They obviously did this to build to yet another rematch as Reigns' feet touched the floor first as Brock's feet were still leaning against the cage and the announcers pushed the controversy.
Good match with the idea that these two monsters were lobbing big moves at each other.
