Brock Lesnar and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns have been entailed in a heated feud recently, while Paul Heyman in the mix makes it more enticing. Lesnar is scheduled to challenge Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at WWE’s newest Day 1 pay-per-view. However, recently, Billi Bhatti reported on The Wrestling Informer podcast that Lesnar and The Viking Raiders vs. Roman Reigns and the Usos was the original planned WWE Day 1 main event. It seems that WWE Smackdown has been spoiled for next week.
Brock Lesnar saves Paul Heyman from Roman Reigns
On this week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Reigns had announced that Heyman is fired. Reigns had then proceeded to flatten Heyman with a Superman Punch for another big pop.
Heyman went to smash Heyman’s head between two steel chairs but the music hit and out came Lesnar to interrupt. The Usos met Lesnar at ringside but he quickly took them out. Jey Uso took a F5 but Jimmy Uso superkicked Lesnar at ringside. However, Lesnar laughed it off and then dropped Jimmy with a F5 on the floor. Lesnar paced around the ring, staring Reigns down.
He finally rushed the ring to a “Suplex City!” chant but Reigns immediately started delivering chair shots. Lesnar had then powered through the chair shots and put Reigns down with a brutal F5. Lesnar stood tall over Reigns as the crowd cheered him on. He then dropped Reigns with another F5 and closed SmackDown with Lesnar standing over Reigns and Heyman, who were both laid out in the ring.
It will be interesting to see where the Heyman storyline goes as we get closer to the inaugural WWE Day 1 pay-per-view on New Year’s Day in Atlanta, where Lesnar will challenge Reigns for the title, in the main event.
