Roman Reigns continued his reign as the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship with a win over Riddle in the main event of Smackdown, but it was Brock Lesnar’s comeback that stole the thunder. After the end of the main event match, Reigns cut a promo and was about to leave the ring when Lesnar came out in the arena.
The former WWE Champion wanted to shake hands with Reigns. Lesnar trumped the double champion and hit him with an F5 to make it clear that he wants a rematch. Reigns is without an opponent for Money in the Bank and SummerSlam. The title match might take place at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
Reigns had defeated Lesnar at Wrestlemania 38 to walk out of the AT&T Stadium with the Universal Championship and the WWE Championship. Interestingly, he defended his titles for the first since then on Smackdown.
Talking of the main event, The Head of the Table defeated Riddle via pinfall. The former Tag Team Champion successfully hit Reigns with an RKO before going for the pin. But the champion broke it and went on to hit his opponent with a spear a few minutes later to register the win. As per the stipulation, Riddle cannot have a title match till Reigns holds the titles.
