With Roman Reigns taking leave from WWE to once again battle leukemia, the WWE Universal Championship Match at Crown Jewel was made a singles match between Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar.
At Crown Jewel, Baron Corbin came out before the match to present the WWE Universal Title to whom would be crowned the next champion. Before the bell rang Corbin blasts Strowman in the back on the head with the WWE Universal Title. Corbin then immediately called for the bell to start the match.
This gave Lesnar the obviously early advantage, as he was quick to lift Strowman up and connect with an F5. Strowman kicked out of the pinfall attempt however, but this only cause Lesnar to hit another F5.. to which Strowman kicked out of again. Lesnar then delivers ANOTHER F5 to Strowman, which he again kicks out of.

This just angered Brock Lesnar, as he then delivers FOURTH F5 to Braun Strowman, sending him out of the ring. Strowman makes his way back inside, but Brock takes the gloves off and goes to work. Eventually Lesnar nails a FIFTH and final F5 on Strowman, and finally gets the pin.
You NEW WWE Universal Champion… Brock Lesnar.
