Universal Champion Roman Reigns successfully defended his title against Goldberg at WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 in Saudi Arabia. Following his victory over the WWE Hall of Famer, Reigns has now sent a message to his WrestleMania 38 opponent Brock Lesnar.
Speaking immediately after his match at Elimination Chamber, Reigns claimed that he's a man of his word and did exactly what he said he would by dominating Goldberg. He went on to address his WrestleMania 38 opponent Brock Lesnar, claiming that the Beast Incarnate will acknowledge him at WrestleMania.
“I try to teach my sons about humility every day. I like to think I’m a humble Tribal Chief. But even I surprise my own self with my greatness. I’m a man of my word and I Goldberg’d Goldberg. As far as Brock Lesnar, win, lose, or draw, he’s locked in for WrestleMania, and he will acknowledge me,” said Reigns.

Brock Lesnar was originally planned to face Roman Reigns at WWE Day 1 earlier this year.
