Roman Reigns is still the WWE Universal Champion, but we still don’t know who Paul Heyman will ultimately side with.
Reigns retained in a match that saw the referee knocked out in the closing moments, a result of being thrown into him by a Lesnar F-5. Heyman then threw the title into the ring and screamed “you know what to do with it,” but it was questionable as to who he was speaking to. Lesnar laughed as he got the title first, but The Usos ran in and superkicked Brock before Roman hit him with the title and made the cover.

Check out highlights of the match from our live coverage below:
WWE Universal Championship
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Brock Lesnar
Roman slugs it out with Brock, who goes for a German suplex early on. Brock gets one and stomps Roman in the corner, then Roman finally regains control and backs away to gather himself. Brock goes for a F-5 on the floor but Roman grabs the ring post, then Brock throws him inside but Roman catches him with a Superman punch on the apron. Reigns connects with a spear for two, then he readies himself and connects with two consecutive Superman punches. Lesnar avoids a spear and Reigns hits the ring post, then Lesnar follows with three German suplexes and calls for a F-5. Brock connects, but Reigns shockingly kicks out and Lesnar can’t believe it. Reigns counters another F-5 with a guillotine choke, then Brock breaks it with a spinebuster and goes for another F-5.
Reigns is knocked into the referee on the way down and Lesnar makes the cover, but the official is still down on the mat and doesn’t make the count. Lesnar picks him up and slams him on the apron, and Reigns spears Lesnar as he turns back towards the ring. Heyman slides the title in the ring and screams “you know what to do with it,” but it’s questionable as to who he threw the title to. Lesnar laughs and grabs the title before Roman can, but Brock turns into in-stereo superkicks by The Usos. Roman smashes Brock in the face with the title and throws it out of the ring, then a second referee runs in and makes the count.
Winner – Roman Reigns
