Roman Reigns officially facing Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam

For the third time this year, it will be Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.

Reigns defeated Bobby Lashley on Raw tonight to be confirmed as Lesnar’s challenger for SummerSlam. Reigns kicked out of a spear from Lashley before hitting a Superman punch and a spear of his own for the win. Lashley, who defeated Reigns at Extreme Rules earlier this month, shook Reigns’ hand after the match.

Lesnar retained against Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 34 this April. Their cage match at the Greatest Royal Rumble was then booked to end in controversy as Reigns speared Lesnar through the side of the cage. They also main evented WrestleMania 31 in 2015, with Seth Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase during the match and winning the WWE Championship.

Lesnar will be appearing on Raw next week to build up the title defense. It will be the first time he’s been on WWE television since the Greatest Royal Rumble.
