WWE WrestleMania 34 report card: Analysing and grading each match

#14 Brock Lesnar def. Roman Reigns (Universal Championship)

Brock Lesnar surprisingly retained his title

Match: In a match that started with “CM Punk” chants and ended with “Boring” chants, Brock Lesnar surprisingly defeated Roman Reigns in front of a disinterested New Orleans crowd to retain the Universal title. Lesnar needed six F5s and multiple suplexes to put away his opponent, who ended his fourth consecutive WrestleMania main event with blood pouring down his face.

Verdict: The fan reaction was reminiscent of Lesnar vs. Goldberg (WrestleMania XX) and Reigns vs. Triple H (WrestleMania 32), with large sections of the crowd hijacking the match for the simple reason that they never wanted to see it in the first place. When you consider that it only took one F5 for Lesnar to defeat Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe, yet it took six to defeat Reigns, it’s no wonder that the crowd were more interested in chants and beach balls. That said, the fans didn't even give the match a chance, which is really disappointing.

Grade: C
