– Roman Reigns has finally done it; he beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam. Reigns pinned Lesnar in the main event of the show to capture the title he’s failed to win in several attempts. Pics and video of the match are below.

Before the match officially began, Braun Strowman came out and said that whoever won would have to face him immediately after the match. That didn’t happen though, as during the match Lesnar got outside the ring and F-5’d Strowman. Soon after, Reigns speared Lesnar in the ring to win.

The win marks Reigns’ first reign with the title, and ends Lesnar’s run at 504 days. Lesnar won the title from Goldberg back at WrestleMania 33.
