The biggest match of WWE SummerSlam saw Roman Reigns defend his Universal Championship against John Cena. Cena was looking to pin Reigns quickly and humiliate him at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Reigns had an answer for everything Cena threw at him. He did not fall for any roll-up attempts by The Franchise Player and answered an Attitude Adjustment attempt with a DDT.

Cena nearly made Reigns tap out to the STF, but The Tribal Chief made it to the ropes in time. He also countered a Spear attempt outside the ring to send Reigns crashing into the announcer's table with an Attitude Adjustment.

Near-falls dominated the contest late at SummerSlam before Reigns found a way to get back in the contest. He rocked Cena with a series of Superman punches before hitting a Spear for the win.

The match was high-grade and Cena gave it his best even after all these years.

Brock Lesnar made his much-awaited return at SummerSlam after the match and stared down the Universal Champion.

Lesnar’s return makes everything much better for SmackDown fans. The Tribal Chief is undefeated in his current character, and Lesnar knows a thing or two about defeating Roman Reigns. Will Paul Heyman be able to protect his client this time?
