It was made a Last Man Standing match between the two veterans, where both superstars took each other to their limits. Fans remember this match where Lesnar lifted the whole ring with his forklift. In the end, with the help of The Usos, Reigns managed to bury Lesnar under the announcer’s desk and won the Last Man Standing match.

WrestleMania 38

WWE billed the main event of WrestleMania 38 as the Greatest WrestleMania Match of all time, and it had every reason to do so. The WWE Champion Brock Lesnar went against The Universal Champion Roman Reigns and the titles were meant to be unified in this fight. The two superstars had a 12-minute-long match, and a little help from The Bloodline helped Reigns tip the scales in his favor.

Crown Jewel 2021

Roman Reigns defeated John Cena at SummerSlam 2021, but his happiness was short-lived. Brock Lesnar made his long-awaited return to WWE and challenged Reigns for the title.

Brock Lesnar had held the Universal Championship for more than 500 days, walking into SummerSlam 2018. There, he faced Roman Reigns, the guy who had not defeated Brock Lesnar until now. Their match went back and forth for quite a while. Braun Strowman decided to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase that night and this distracted Lesnar quite a bit. Reigns utilized the opportunity to do the unthinkable and finally conquered the beast.

Greatest Royal Rumble

At the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble 2018, Roman Reigns challenged Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. It was a Steel Cage match, and the first one to escape from the structure was to be crowned the winner. Towards the end, Reigns speared Lesnar right through the cell, and both superstars fell out of the ring. However, it was Lesnar who fell on the ground first and was thus declared the winner.

WrestleMania 34

Brock Lesnar was the Universal Champion for a year walking into WrestleMania 34. Despite that, Roman Reigns was the favorite to win the title, given his red-hot form at the time.
