5 unforgettable WWE SummerSlam main event conclusions

#2 Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe (SummerSlam 2017)

Lesnar's victory confirmed he was going to stay in the WWE.

When Kurt Angle had to decide who was going to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam 2017, there were a number of wrestlers who made a worthy contender against the Beast Incarnate. However, after struggling to make a decision, Angle ended up choosing three opponents, Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe to face Brock Lesnar in a fatal four-way match for the Universal Championship. If you take into account that all four of these wrestlers are as destructive as they come, it already looked that this main event was going to be an eventful one.

In the first ten minutes, the WWE Universe witnessed Reigns spearing Lesnar through a barricade, Strowman throwing a swivel chair at Samoa Joe’s head, before putting Lesnar through two announce tables and then burying a third one on top of him. It wasn’t long after this match started before the WWE Universe showed their acknowledgement with ‘This is Awesome’ chants.

Prior to the match, Paul Heyman vowed that if Lesnar didn’t walk away as Champion, he would leave the WWE. However, Strowman’s destruction made this a real possibility as Brock Lesnar was stretchered out of the ring but rejoined after refusing to lose his Universal Championship without a fight.

In the end, after 20 plus minutes of sheer brutality, Lesnar shocked the WWE Universe as he managed to survive the mammoth challenge with an F5 to Reigns and left the WWE a notable conclusion in SummerSlam history, as it was confirmed that Lesnar was here to stay in the WWE.
