Roman Reigns has been the WWE Universal Champion for over 400 days now, and he will put his title on the line when he defends the belt against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel later this month.
WWE pulled the trigger on the Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar feud when The Beast made his surprise return at SummerSlam, and some were surprised to see WWE kick off the feud so soon.
