Brock Lesnar had faced Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2021 before WrestleMania 38

Roman Reigns defeated John Cena at SummerSlam 2021 and retained the Universal Championship. On September 10^th edition of SmackDown Brock Lesnar Challenged Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship, which Roman accepted. On September 16^th, WWE then announced that a bout between Roman and Brock would take place at the crown jewel but didn’t mention anything about the Championship as Roman was about to defend his title against Finn Balor at Extreme Rules.

Roman successfully defended his title against Balor and the match against Lesnar was confirmed to be for the Universal Championship. At the event Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar and retained the Universal Championship. Thereafter he defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 in a winner takes all match. So, the winner in the last two matches involving Roman and Brock is Roman Reigns.

WWE Hall of Famer JBL weighed in on the Last Man Standing encounter between Lesnar and Reigns. He stated that he finds it difficult to think that one of these men will remain down for a ten count. JBL said that picking a winner is difficult for him and that he has known Brock Lesnar since his debut and that Roman Reigns’ level of domination has been seen since Bruno Sammartino, but he believes Brock Lesnar will win this match.

“Holy cow, it’s hard to believe that either of these giants are gonna stay down for ten-count. I have a hard time believing which one’s gonna lose this, but somebody is. I have seen Brock Lesnar since he first came in. Roman Reigns, we haven’t seen dominance like that since Bruno Sammartino. I am going with the Beast Incarnate here to upset, I don’t know if it’s upset or not, but to take the title from the Head of the Table.”

SummerSlam will take place on this Saturday at Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee.
