Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar Ends In Controversy At WWE Crown Jewel

Oct 21, 2021

Roman Reigns successfully defended his Universal Championship against The Demon at the SummerSlam pay-per-view back in August, but unfortunately for The Tribal Chief his celebration was cut short when he was interrupted by Brock Lesnar.

Since then Brock Lesnar has been taunting Roman Reigns, and it was announced a few weeks ago that the Head of the Table would be defending his Universal Championship against The Beast at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.

Both Superstars got their offense in throughout, but Brock Lesnar kicked out of a spear fairly early, and Reigns kicked out of the F5 near the end of the match. Brock went for a second F5 right after, but Roman countered with the guillotine, and The Beast threw Roman off of him then went for the F5 again, but he accidentally threw Roman Reigns into the referee.

Brock Lesnar went for the pin but the ref was knocked out. The Beast then picked referee Charles Robinson up by his pants and dropped him. Robinson rolled out of the ring and Brock Lesnar then he turned around to a spear from Roman Reigns.

With the ref knocked out and both Superstars on the mat Paul Heyman tossed the title belt in the middle of the ring and screamed “you know what to do with it,” but it wasn’t made clear who he was talking to as he threw the belt directly in between both of them.

Both men tried to grab the belt, but Brock got it. As he was getting ready to hit Roman with it The Usos came down and hit him with a superkick. Roman then grabbed the belt and knocked Brock out with it to win the match while a new ref counted the pin.
