5 memorable WWE main events of 2021

4) Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan for the Universal Championship (WWE Fastlane 2021)

At WWE Elimination Chamber 2021, Daniel Bryan defeated five other competitors to win the titular match. But Roman Reigns gave him little time to recover by immediately starting their Universal Championship Match and beating him in mere minutes.

A month later, Reigns and Bryan clashed in a tremendous war-of-attrition that saw both men play their roles well. The former dominated his opponent with ground and pound offense, while the latter was an excellent, fiery babyface with his spirited comebacks. The Tribal Chief defeated his opponent with a guillotine choke following a steel chair shot from special enforcer Edge.
