WWE fans react to Brock Lesnar winning the Men’s Royal Rumble
Earlier in the night, Lesnar seemingly had his match against Lashley won, but his F-5 attempt took out the referee. That is when Roman Reigns entered the ring and attacked him, with the assistance of Lesnar’s advocate, Paul Heyman. Lashley then pinned Lesnar to win the WWE Championship for the second time in his career.
With the seeds planted for an expected match at WrestleMania, it became clear as day when Lesnar entered the Rumble and absolutely cleared the ring to win. Lesnar is now a two-time Royal Rumble winner, as he first did so back in 2003 as the No. 29 entrant.
At WrestleMania 38, you can expect Lesnar to challenge Reigns for the Universal Championship inside gigantic AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
