Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nPaul Heyman and Brock Lesnar head to the ring. Heyman is very happy to announce Lesnar as “still” the Universal Champ. Heyman knows people expect them to gloat tonight, but Lesnar does not gloat. He conquers. Heyman, on the other hand, does like to gloat. So he does.<\/p>\n

Lesnar does not dwell in the past though. He always looks toward the future, and in the very near future Lesnar will be defending his title in a cage in Saudi Arabia. Lesnar will shred Roman Reigns and come home still the Universal Champ. As Heyman is wrapping up, Reigns comes out and heads toward the ring.<\/p>\n

In the ring. Reigns and Lesnar stare at each other. Lesnar smiles. Reigns doesn’t. Reigns says he’s coming back from Saudi Arabia with the Universal Title. Then he leaves.<\/p>\n
