Summerslam 2022: WWE Was Forced To Book Brock Lesnar Vs. Roman Reigns
As confirmed by the WWE, Lesnar vs. Reigns will serve as the main event of Summerslam 2022. This would be a rematch from Wrestlemania 38 where Lesnar dropped the WWE Championship to Reigns in a title unification match. Since the feud was going on for a long time before that, the unification of the title and the culmination of the program was expected at the Show of Shows.
Now that the rematch is booked for Summerslam 2022, some of the fans are outrageous about WWE making this decision. It appears this upcoming match is going to be the last battle between The Tribal Chief and The Beast Incarnate. During Money In The Bank 2022 premium live event, WWE Smackdown commentator Michael Cole noted the same about the upcoming Reigns vs. Lesnar match,
“A rivalry 7 years in the making reaches its conclusion.”

Before Summerslam 2022, the two top superstars of the WWE faced each other in six different PPV events in singles capacity. The list goes as follows,
WrestleMania 31 (WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match) – Seth Rollins cashed in the Money In The Bank contract, and turned it into a Triple Threat Match before eventually winning the match and the title
WrestleMania 34 (Universal Championship Match) – Brock Lesnar won
Greatest Royal Rumble 2018 (Steel Cage Match for the Universal Championship) – Brock Lesnar won
SummerSlam 2018 (Universal Championship Match) – Roman Reigns won
Crown Jewel 2021 (Universal Championship Match) – Roman Reigns won
WrestleMania 38 (Title Unification Match for the WWE Championship & Universal Championship) – Roman Reigns won
As you can see, Brock Lesnar will get the chance to level the 2-3 score against the Head of the Table at Summerslam 2022. But it should also be noted that the two men also battled each other in multi-man matches on two more occasions counting which the score stands 3-4 in Reigns’ favor.
