Universal Champion Roman Reigns will once again go head-to-head with The Beast when he battled Brock Lesnar in a highly anticipated rematch for the Universal Title at WWE Day 1.

Back at SummerSlam, Lesnar made a surprising return and then secured a Universal Title Match days later on SmackDown against the dominant titleholder. In the height of their epic showdown in Saudi Arabia, however, The Head of the Table used the title as a weapon, in addition to getting some help from his cousins The Usos, to ultimately conquer the Beast.

Lesnar returned to the blue brand the following Friday in a furious state. In addition to attacking Roman Reigns and The Bloodline head-on, though, he went on attack WWE Official Adam Pearce and got himself indefinitely suspended.

When the suspension was finally lifted, history would repeat itself as Lesnar once again returned to Friday night and used his intimidation to immediately reenter the title picture. After forcing Sayn Zayn to use his recently acquired title opportunity that very night, Lesnar worked it out where he would face the winner for the gold at WWE Day 1. Then, prior to Zayn's match against Reigns, Brock took the challenger to Suplex City before hitting him with two F5s! Moments later, The Head of the Table emerged to easily defeat the war torn Sami and the rematch between Reigns and Lesnar was set in stone.

The Universal Title Match at WWE Day 1 will be an epic showdown between Reigns and Lesnar and absolute destruction is sure to follow. Don’t miss WWE Day 1, streaming LIVE on New Year’s Day, Saturday Jan. 1 at 8 ET / 5 PT on WWE Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else.
