#6 Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns (SummerSlam)

Can this really be counted as a match?
Can this really be counted as a match?

The SummerSlam main event wasn't quite an embarrassment, but Vince McMahon needed to get a lot of smoke and mirrors involved in the process to make sure it wasn't. Braun Strowman came to the ring to declare he would cash in his Money in the Bank Contract on the winner, but it was soon revealed that he just stood there to get people anticipating that outcome.

He was quickly disposed of by Lesnar. When Lesnar returned to the ring, he ate a surprise spear from Roman Reigns, who won the title.

It was an anticlimactic and convoluted way to end a 500-day title reign. It was even more anticlimactic when you consider that this is the coronation WWE had been building to for four years, ever since Lesnar ended Undertaker's fabled streak at WrestleMania 30.

The result was that what should have been monumental moment years in the making felt like an afterthought at best, and an insult at worst. Vince McMahon sacrificed a lot to make sure that fans wouldn't boo.
