Lesnar Retains, Nakamura Turns Heel, Zayn & Owens Remain Fired

While the main event of WrestleMania was always scheduled to be the Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, few fans were prepared for the outcome of the match. Lesnar had been favored to lose the match over reported talks of him leaving WWE to rejoin UFC not long after WrestleMania. However, you never truly know what may happen at WrestleMania, and the main event of the evening instead saw Lesnar shockingly retain his championship over “The Big Dog.” UFC President Dana White was in attendance for WrestleMania last night, but no word on Lesnar’s current status with WWE has been provided. For now, Lesnar remains the Universal Champion.

Perhaps one of the most highly-anticipated matches of WrestleMania last night was the WWE Championship match between Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles. The two traded moves back and fourth for a while before Styles managed to defeat Nakamura after hitting him with a Styles Clash. After the match, Nakamura handed the title over to Styles, seemingly out of respect. That all changed when “The King of Strong Style” suddenly hit “The Phenomenal One” with a low blow. He then proceeded to attack Styles some more at ringside before defiantly laying him out with a Kinshasa. Nakamura smiled as he made his way to the back, proving that he was proud of what he had just done.

Daniel Bryan made his in-ring return at WrestleMania 34 last night when he and Shane McMahon faced Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. After being fired by Bryan, Zayn and Owens were given the chance to earn their jobs back on Smackdown. All that they had to do was defeat McMahon and Bryan, but the two best friends were unable to do so. Bryan got the win for his team when he managed to make Sami Zayn tap out via Yes Lock. As per the stipulation of the match, Zayn and Owens will remain fired from WWE. The match marked Bryan’s first match back in WWE in over three years. Bryan embraced with his wife Brie Bella at ringside before he and Shane McMahon proceeded up the ramp.
