00:18Here comes the big dog.
00:24Like absolutely no other.
00:28You hear the roar of the crowd for Roman Reigns.
00:32You always say the most polarizing star in WWE,
00:35but the big dog ready to defend his yard tonight.
00:38And a very important night for Roman Reigns.
00:41Perhaps the most important night of Roman Reigns' career,
00:45because does he get another opportunity at the Universal Championship
00:49if he does not slay the beast tonight?
00:52Michael, I don't think there's any question that this is,
00:54without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest night in the career of Roman Reigns.
01:00You heard it in that package, I have to win.
01:03That's how Roman Reigns feels about this opportunity.
01:12Corey, what does Roman need to do tonight to finally beat Brock?
01:16I don't have a definitive answer for you.
01:20I will say that I believe, of all people,
01:23Roman Reigns has finally found what could be considered the weak link in Brock Lesnar's armor.
01:30The beast's Achilles heel, if you will.
01:32Roman is in the mind of Brock Lesnar, which is why Brock had to resort to
01:37those heinous tactics last week with the pepper spray.
01:40Corey, we know this, that if Roman Reigns wants to win here tonight,
01:44that he already knows that he's gonna have to take a beating of a lifetime.
01:48But we've seen it before, he's willing to do that, and did some.
01:52I always look back to the first encounter at WrestleMania,
01:55out in San Francisco, the Bay Area.
01:59Brock put a beating on Roman like Roman had never experienced,
02:02but still wore a smile through the entire fight.
02:06That's what Roman's ready for.
02:08Roman is ready to go out on his shield tonight.
02:11These are what the big moments are about, these big nights are about.
02:15Can you get it done?
02:16Can you dig deep?
02:19Can you take this opportunity to climb the mountain?
02:36Can you take this opportunity to climb the mountain?
02:40Go, go, go, go.
02:45Come, go.
02:47Bye.
02:49Thanks, buddy.
02:50Come, Aubrey.
02:51Come, Aubrey.
02:52Come, Aubrey.
03:03Come, Aubrey.
03:06Lesnar is ruled as Universal Champion.
03:09It is the sixth longest world title reign in WWE history.
03:15Will that reign continue tonight at SummerSlam?
03:25Take a look at Roman Reigns never taking his eyes off of
03:31the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.
03:33Nor is the beast breaking his stare at Roman Reigns.
03:38Brock knows he's ready for a fight.
03:43Boy, the damage that these two have done, talking about Brock Lesnar and
03:48Paul Haim in the last several weeks.
03:51They've enjoyed every single second of it.
03:54And it culminates here tonight at the Barclay City.
03:57At SummerSlam last year, Brock Lesnar defended his title on a fatal four-way
04:02match successfully.
04:05The following contest is for the Universal Championship.
04:13Introducing the challenger from Pensacola, Florida, weighing 265 pounds, Roman Reigns.
04:31Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
04:41Tonight, the reigning, defending, defending, defending, defending, defending,
04:55undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion, Barack Lesnar.
05:15That is what it is about.
05:17The WWE Universal Championship.
05:20This match will not be for the faint of heart.
05:24Wait up just a minute.
05:26Wait a minute.
05:28Braun Strowman, Mr. Money in the Bank, who successfully beat Kevin Owens earlier
05:34tonight to retain the contract, is marching down to the ring.
05:40Remember the epic encounter in the past at the Royal Rumble between Lesnar and
05:46Strowman was not for the weak of heart.
05:48And he's marching into the ring.
05:50Strowman is marching into the ring.
05:52Is it time?
05:53Is he gonna catch it in?
05:58Boy, this would be an extraordinary time for this.
06:09Strowman asked for a microphone.
06:36Everybody knows the history of this Money in the Bank contract.
06:40And I refuse to be a coward and
06:44cash it in when my opponent's back is turned.
06:54I am the monster among men and
06:57I do things face to face.
07:06So good luck to you, Roman.
07:09And good luck to you too, Beastie Boy.
07:12Cuz I'm gonna be standing.
07:29I'm gonna be standing right here this entire match.
07:33And I don't give a damn who wins.
07:36Cuz at the end of the night, one of you two is gonna get these hands.
07:45Game changer.
07:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:48Braun Strowman made it pretty clear.
07:50He's gonna sit back and watch this match.
07:54So he's just told the world he's gonna cash in the Money in the Bank contract.
07:59Roman Reigns with a Superman punch from out of nowhere.
08:02And another one.
08:03And Lester, and Lester's in trouble.
08:05Roman Reigns taking advantage of the third, and the Beast is down.
08:09And now Roman Reigns with a spear to Lester, a spear to the champion.
08:14Brock is stunned, Brock's in trouble, Reigns with another spear.
08:21Roman Reigns looking for the trifecta.
08:24One more and this one could be over.
08:26Lester can't get back to his feet.
08:28He finally does.
08:29And Roman Reigns with a strong spear.
08:31No, but Lester's got the guillotine.
08:33Lester's got the guillotine.
08:35He got it.
08:35Get on Reigns, what's Roman gonna do?
08:37Brock Lesnar from out of nowhere locking it in on Roman.
08:41Is Reigns gonna tap?
08:42Is he gonna pass out?
08:43There is nowhere for Roman Reigns to go.
08:46After three Superman punches, three spears.
08:50It's Roman looking on.
08:52Lesnar was able to lock the guillotine in on Reigns.
08:55But can Roman overpower Lesnar?
08:58Roman Reigns back to his feet.
09:00The powerful spinebuster from Reigns.
09:02Both men are down.
09:05Great counter by Reigns to make Brock Lesnar let go of that hold.
09:09What an incredible start to this Universal Championship match.
09:13Talk about starting the war with your heaviest artillery.
09:17The big dog brought it.
09:20Lesnar once again.
09:22Brock locking it in again and now Roman's is in trouble again.
09:25And can Roman Reigns somehow break it a second time?
09:27Roman trying to prevent Lesnar from locking his forearm in.
09:32Heyman screaming at ringside.
09:34Yeah, we know what this can do.
09:37It'll knock you out.
09:38Heyman is screaming at Roman Reigns to tap.
09:44Brock's got it locked in good.
09:45Roman again trying to get back to a vertical base.
09:47Trying to power out of this again.
09:49And Roman Reigns do it a second time.
09:51Amazing show of power.
09:54The big dog trying to dig down deep and he does it again.
09:57Brock still got it locked in.
09:59Look at Roman Reigns.
10:00And again a Spy Buster planting Lesnar.
10:03The Beast Incarnate was squeezing with every fiber of his being.
10:07But the big dog would not stay down.
10:09Lesnar goes 290.
10:12And Roman Reigns has been able to pick him up twice and slam him down.
10:17A frantic pace in this Universal Championship match.
10:24Lesnar is startled.
10:27Reigns is gasping for air.
10:29It's obvious both Lesnar and Reigns want to end this as quickly as possible.
10:32They know Strowman is waiting feet away.
10:36And Corey, I thought they would focus on Braun.
10:38But right now they've got to focus on one another and can't worry about the monster in the back.
10:42Lesnar has ripped the gloves off.
10:46Boy, what a pace.
10:47Bare Knuckle, the Beast Incarnate.
10:50Roman Reigns better grit your teeth.
10:53Going for the German.
10:58Suplex number one.
10:58Is it hard for Brock to get to his feet?
11:00Roman's still trying to catch his breath from the guillotine.
11:03That's right.
11:03Roman going to Suplex City, a second time from Lesnar.
11:07And now the Beast is fired up.
11:09I think Brock Lesnar's found his second wind.
11:12And now he's starting to dominate Roman Reigns.
11:15Roman is gasping, trying his best to get full lungs, full of breath.
11:23Lesnar going for a third German Suplex, and this time connects again to Roman Reigns.
11:28The Beast stares down at the monster.
11:31How about taking the time to look at Braun Strowman?
11:35You won't stop, you won't stop, you won't stop, you won't stop, you won't stop, you won't stop.
11:40Well, we know that Brock doesn't care about any of these people that have shown up here in Brooklyn tonight.
11:45Of course, Roman Reigns never a stranger to a hostile environment.
11:49But right now, it's not about the WWE Universe.
11:52It's about the two men trying to destroy one another inside the ring.
11:55Yeah, for the Universal Championship.
11:57Lesnar now looking for an F5 perhaps with Reigns on his shoulder.
12:02This is gonna do it.
12:03Roman Reigns though, here comes Roman, Roman with a suicide dive.
12:08Brock sidestep, Roman took out Strowman.
12:11It's completely unintentional by Reigns, but what a brilliant ploy by the Beast.
12:16Yeah, clearly Braun Strowman did not see that coming.
12:21Turn around, turn around.
12:22And now Lesnar, Lesnar pookie the monster, and a F5 to Strowman outside the ring.
12:29And that's one way to take Strowman out of the equation.
12:32Lesnar is smiling.
12:34Brock loves it, smart move.
12:36You soften up Braun Strowman while you're taking care of Roman Reigns.
12:40Not many people can do that.
12:45And Brock, as Corey mentioned, a huge grin on his face is now.
12:50He looks to drag Reigns back in the ring, put Roman Reigns away,
12:55as Strowman is still suffering the effects of the F5.
13:01And now Braun Strowman, though, grabbing the ankle of Brock Lesnar and Brock now,
13:06with the contract inside the briefcase, using the briefcase as a weapon.
13:11And now slinging it a long way away.
13:17Did that just knock out-
13:19A chair, and Lesnar with a chair, assaulting Strowman.
13:24There you go, Brock, there you go, Brock.
13:26The monster in the bank might regret trying to make his withdrawal tonight.
13:30Yeah. I guess that's one way to make sure that the contract's not cashed in.
13:34Yeah, you can respect the face-to-face, but right now it's the chair to back.
13:39He almost threw the contract over the East River.
13:44And now back into the ring, Brock Lesnar in a mood tonight.
13:49A vile and vicious mood.
13:51And Reigns with a spear to the champion.
13:54Here's the cover, hook of the leg.
13:57Reigns did it, Roman Reigns did it, Reigns is the champion.
14:00Here is your winner, and the new Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
14:09I can't believe it.
14:11Roman Reigns finally did it.
14:18The elation from Roman Reigns.
14:24The big dog has finally broken the stranglehold of Lesnar.
14:29And look at the reaction from Roman Reigns.
14:32And we got a call like we see it, guys.
14:36Brock Lesnar was feeling himself.
14:38He was paying attention to Braun Strowman, and Roman Reigns struck.
14:43Brock Lesnar was trying to protect his Universal Championship.
14:46And Roman Reigns capitalized on this situation.
14:49Roman Reigns makes history tonight.
14:50He joins Brock Lesnar as the only man to hold the WWE and
14:54the Universal Championship.
