Low: Brock beats down Roman in a one-sided match

<p>

In a sloppy, poorly booked match, Brock Lesnar beat Roman Reigns senseless and bloody to retain the Universal title.

This was the night's biggest shocker; Nearly every wrestling fan knew going in that Brock was considering a return to MMA, and would not re-sign with the WWE when his contract expired.

Not only did Brock defeat Roman, it was one of the most one-sided beatdowns ever seen at a Wrestlemania. After putting Roman through a table and cutting him open with an elbow, Brock finally finished the Samoan after multiple F5s. Brock's german suplexes during this match can only be called lazy, and he didn't even seem in championship condition, with noticeable flab around his midsection.

The shocker ending and brutal, squash type beatdown were puzzling and, for the most part, quite dull, which the live crowd confirmed by chanting 'this is awful.'
