1. Roman Reigns Vs. Brock Lesnar (SummerSlam 2022)
Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns’ paths would cross again. Their story progressed past WrestleMania 38 into the 35th edition of SummerSlam. It depicted a concluding chapter. Saturday, July 30, 2022, Roman Reigns defended the Undisputed Championship against Brock Lesnar inside a coliseum built for Titans.
Thousands gathered to witness this consequential match where one man survives & departs the victor/ champion! Paul Heyman was in Reigns’ corner, not Brock, who he previously advocated for. Now, Mr. Heyman gifted Roman with his special counsel. Nissan Stadium in “ The Music City “ ( Nashville, Tennessee) awaits the unexpected. During this time, for 680 days, The Tribal Chief ruled WWE!!! The Uso’s flanked Roman to ringside. He unified the titles at Mania. Beast Mode takes on God Mode. Reigns defeated Lesnar circa SummerSlam 2018, winning his inaugural Universal Championship. Roman was 3 in 1 regarding Last Man Standing Matches. Lesnar dethroned The Rock to capture his first WWE Championship via SummerSlam (2002). Fans chanted Tribal Chief.
Spectators roared for The Beast Incarnate as he entered. Lesnar’s competed in his first-ever Last Man Standing Match. Lesnar went back toward the entrance way & transformed into Cowboy Brock, driving an impressive tractor to the ring. He sported a flannel shirt and cowboy hat, and everyone viewing WWE became accustomed to envisioning since his instrumental return. Both Roman & Heyman showed shock on their faces. Important note-Paul Heyman & The Bloodline fooled Lesnar with Paul joining his former client, only to betray him before WrestleMania. Lesnar knew how to counter physiologically when challenging combatants. What a scene, Brock standing on the tractor. Here’s an interesting comparison, those National Geographic wildlife specials show beasts competing with others concerning prey.
Imagine an angry carnivore attacking opposite his equally impressive competition. Humanity borrows this mentality inside a wrestling ring. Brock understood his opponent’s weaknesses. He began assailing the Champ. Reigns went to Suplex City fast!!! The ringside exterior didn’t assist Reigns. It helped & Lesnar illustrated dominance. Roman attempted to fight back. Smashville is Suplex City. Heyman distracts Lesnar. It allowed Reigns an advantage. Tables became Roman Reigns’ best friends. Lesnar withstands an onslaught of textbook offense. Brock proved that to overpower anybody when needed. Lesnar lifts Reigns in the front loader of the tractor & dumps him back into the ring. Each survives multiple-10 counts. Submissions factored in this storied encounter.
Lesnar used a tractor to lift the ring, causing Reigns to fall out. Jimmy & Jey Uso interfered. Brock absolved those problems. Heyman mistakenly confronts The Beast & gets an F-5 through the broadcast table. Again, The Bloodline helps Reigns. Austin Theory, cashing in on his Money In The Bank opportunity. Lesnar quickly fixed that. Austin Theory was F-5ed. It took several attempts for Reigns to win. Our ending saw Roman Reigns retain!!! Lesnar lost & cannot challenge Roman regarding his titles after such a defeat while he’s still Champion.
