The main event of WWE SummerSlam ended in a major way, with Roman Reigns retaining his WWE Universal Championship over John Cena before being confronted by none other than Brock Lesnar.
In an incredible match between the two legendary superstars, Reigns emerged victorious. While he controlled most of the bout, Cena took control later on. The challenger dropped “The Tribal Chief” with multiple Attitude Adjustments, but the champion refused to stay down.

Near the end of the match, Cena and Reigns traded blows, and “The Head of the Table” floored his opponent with two Superman Punches. Finally, a massive Spear put Cena down for the three count, but Reigns’ night wasn’t over yet because “The Beast Incarnate” made his stunning return.

Lesnar, sporting a new look with a ponytail and beard, came to the ring while Reigns began to celebrate. A stunned Reigns and a visibly scared Paul Heyman could only watch as Lesnar climbed into the ring. The former WWE Universal Champion stared Reigns down to send him a message. Though “The Head of the Table” walked away, it’s clear that Lesnar is back and looking for his next title opportunity.
