6 Times Braun Strowman failed to win the WWE Universal title

#2. Crown Jewel 2018 - Braun Strowman Vs. Brock Lesnar - Vacant Universal Title

Brock Lesnar once again thwarts Braun Strowman's Universal Title attempt

Following the events of Hell in a Cell, the plan was for WWE to hold a Triple Threat Match between Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, and Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel, as announced by then General Manager Baron Corbin.

However, Roman Reigns shocked the world by revealing his leukemia diagnosis. Reigns was forced to vacate the Universal Championship leading to the second one-on-one match between Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar.

There's no denying that a one-on-one match between these two giants was hotly anticipated, especially considering their history and the way things ended between the two at the Royal Rumble.

Unfortunately, Braun Strowman was attacked by Baron Corbin before the bell. As Corbin viciously attacked Strowman with the Universal Championship, 'The Monster Among Men' was forced to compete with the odds already clearly stacked against him.

Lesnar then hit him with three F5s inside the ring, all leading to near falls. He then hit Strowman with an F5 outside the ring, but Strowman made his back before the ten count expired. Ultimately, Lesnar hit a fifth and final F5 and went on to become a two time Universal Champion. Braun Strowman had just lost his fifth Universal Title match.
