Brock waited for Reigns to get up and then planted him with an F5 as the crowd cheered. Lesnar laughed and went for another F5, but Reigns escaped and hit three Superman Punches in a row. Reigns geared up in the corner and went for a Spear, but Lesnar caught him. Reigns escaped up to the top of the cage, but Lesnar caught up to him and grabbed Roman by chest protecter. Lesnar punched Reigns to the canvas and then Brock climbed to the top of the cage. Roman got up and grabbed Lesnar by the legs to drag him down. Reigns then planted Lesnar with a Powerbomb off the top rope.
BIG move by the BIG DOG. Is this a momentum-shifter in favor of @WWERomanReigns?! #WWEGRR #UniversalTitle pic.twitter.com/3qv8xNqttn

Heyman slid a steel chair into the ring as Lesnar took his gloves off. Brock went to hit Roman with the chair, but Reigns quickly got up and connected with a fourth Spear for another two count. Roman struck Lesnar in the back a few times with the steel chair. Roman hit another Superman Punch and then geared up for another Spear. Reigns connected with a fifth Spear through the cage and both Superstars fell to the floor outside the ring. It was then announced that Brock Lesnar hit the floor first after being Speared through the cage. Thus, Brock Lesnar is still the Universal Champion.
