However, The Beast reversed Big E's attempt into an F5. Lesnar then pinned the now-former champion to win the title and end Big E's reign at 110 days.

Initially, Lesnar was to face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WWE Day 1. The showdown would've been a Crown Jewel 2021 rematch, where The Head of the Table defeated The Beast Incarnate to retain the Universal title.
The Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns bout didn't take place as the reigning Universal Champion tested positive for COVID-19 and withdrew from the match.
