Roman Reigns was originally set to defend the Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar at the WWE Day 1 pay-per-view over the weekend, but Reigns was pulled from the show after he tested positive for COVID-19.
The Beast Incarnate was then added to the main event and he faced off against Big E, Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley and Seth Rollins in a fatal 5 way match for the WWE Championship. In the end it was Brock Lesnar who walked out with the gold after he hit Big E with the F5 and pinned him to win the match.
It was recently noted on Wrestling Observer Live that original plans for the WWE Championship match at Day 1 called for Big E to retain his title. The title change was reportedly a direct result of Roman testing positive for COVID-19 and Lesnar being added to the match.
It’s also worth noting that after the Day 1 pay-per-view the WWE on FOX Twitter account post a graphic listing Big E as the winner of the WWE Title match, but Brock Lesnar’s face was on the graphic instead of Big E’s.
