Brock Lesnar is going to be around for a while.
Yesterday at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman went one-on-one for the vacant Universal Championship. The championship was relinquished by Roman Reigns in late October because Reigns had to to step away from the ring due to his Leukemia returning. The once Triple-Threat between Strowman, Lesnar and Reigns was converted into a singles match between Strowman and Lesnar.
The match between Lesnar and Strowman lasted a little over two minutes with Brock dominating the entire match. "Acting General Manager" Baron Corbin hit Strowman with the Universal Title belt before the match began which gave Lesnar the advantage and from that point on it was a straight shot to victory for Lesnar. Strowman kicked out of a number of F5's but he was eventually slayed by "The Beast".
Coming out of 'Crown Jewel', Dave Meltzer booted up Wrestling Observer Radio and discussed what's next for Lesnar as many thought that coming out SummerSlam that Lesnar was going to be focusing on returning to UFC. Brock made a surprise appearance at the September 'Hell In A Cell' PPV and attacked Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman to set up the Triple-Threat at Crown Jewel. Now that Brock is the Universal Champion once again, it was announced by WWE that Lesnar and AJ Styles will have their champion versus champion rematch at the Survivor Series PPV on November 18th and according to Dave Meltzer, Brock Lesnar has signed for "at least" two more appearances including his match with AJ Styles.
