Roman Reigns continues to rule the roost in the WWE after the main event match at Wrestlemania 38 Night Two. In the biggest match of all time in WWE history, he defeated Brock Lesnar to become the new Undisputed Universal Champion of the company.
In a brutal Winner Takes All Title Unification Match, Reigns and Lesnar duked it out with all they had to give. After a flurry of F5s and Spears from both the participants, Lesnar applied the Kimura Lock on Reigns and it appeared that the latter had also dislocated his shoulder.
Paul Heyman helped Reigns to reach the ropes to break the hold after which Lesnar went for the F5 but Reigns countered with a sudden spear to win the match and become a dual championship winner by the end of Wrestlemania 38. He also sent the show off-air by posing with dual title belts as pyro and fireworks continued to blast around the arena.
This is the first time that WWE has unified the WWE Universal Title and the WWE Title. These two belts have separately been used on WWE TV since 2016. Lesnar won the WWE Title back at Elimination Chamber in February inside the Chamber structure and held the strap for 43 recognized days.
