The match took a turn, pun intended, when Brock reached his breaking point. The possibility that nothing keeps Brock down for 10 seconds. The possibility that Reigns narrowly beats the 10 count. That’s what this match was all about: possibilities. But after going through a table and getting dropped into the ring via tractor-a thing that happened-it’s very possible. Reigns isn’t going down because of a trip to Suplex City. They milked every 10 count and provided a lot of tension. What put the match over the top was how each man sold the drama. Putting them in a match where it’s basically Godzilla vs.

The only man who shrugs off multiple Superman punches is Brock Lesnar.

The only man who can withstand an F5, or several, is Roman Reigns. The only true competition for either men is one another. For the longest time, WWE told us these two are heads, shoulders, knees, and toes above everyone else in the territory. This is the logical conclusion of everything for these men. They smashed each other through tables, and hit each other with their biggest moves.

Roman and Brock beat each other in the crowd. That set the tone of the match as it turned into a game of escalation. He also launched himself from the tractor into a Lou Thesz press onto Reigns. That said, this is the gig so I will at least try.īrock drove a tractor to the ring. Words truly do not do this collision justice. If this is truly the end of the Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar story, their Last Man Standing match was the exclamation point on the last sentence in the last chapter. Calling it a war feels like a disservice to actual war. I truly don’t know where to start when it comes to SummerSlam’s main event.
