2 Highs and 3 Lows from Roman Reigns' previous WWE SummerSlam appearances

#1 High: Match of the Year candidate (2017)

Brock Lesnar walked out of SummerSlam 2017 as Universal champion

In 2017, Brock Lesnar successfully defended his Universal Championship in a Fatal 4-Way match in the main event of SummerSlam against Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman.

It genuinely looked throughout the 20-minute match as if any one of the four men could walk away with the title, especially as it appeared at the time that Lesnar was going back to UFC (doesn’t that sound familiar?!).

In the end, “The Beast” pinned “The Big Dog” following an F5 to retain the Universal Championship and, one year on, he still has hold of the title.

Some might say that this should be considered another low point of Reigns’ appearances at SummerSlam – he took the pinfall, after all – but it’s not every day you get to be involved in a Match of the Year contender, so we’re classing this as a high point.
