Meanwhile, more exciting action awaits WWE fans on Day 2 of the event.Â
Edge wins in style
We saw a number of impressive moves from both men. Edge went for a desperate DDT and covered AJ, but the latter kicked out at 2. AJ then held Edge on his shoulders and went for a fireman suplex. The two men struggled with submission maneuvers as well when AJ tried to go for the Curb Crusher which was converted into an Arm Bar from Edge.
The crowd was amazed to see the resilience both men were showing. With one good arm, we saw AJ delivering a vicious superplex on Edge to the apron from the top turnbuckle. Both men were out on the floor and made it to the ring before the referee counted 10. AJ took advantage and went for a springboard 450 and then went on to hit a Styles Clash, however, Edge unbelievably kicked out of the cover at 2.

In the closing moments, AJ went to the apron to set the Phenomenal Forearm, however, Damian Priest came near the ringside out of nowhere and stood there. AJ looked at him but went for the Phenomenal Forearm, however, Edge caught him in the mid-air with a vicious Spear and won the match via Pinfall. After the match got over, Damian Priest got into the ring and both Edge and Priest walked backstage together.
Sheamus and Ridge Holland beat New Day
Sheamus and Ridge Holland made quick work of New Day, thanks to some distraction by Butch. Even before the match could get underway, Butch Sheamus and Holland attacked both Kofi Kingston and King Woods.
The match came to a quick end with Butch distracting the referee and Sheamus hitting a Brogue Kick on King Woods followed by Ridge Holland’s finishing maneuver that helped him pin King Woods. In another match, Pat McAfee defeated Austin Theory.
Roman Reigns wins ‘Winner take all’ match
As soon as the bell rang, Brock Lesnar immediately shuns his gloves and attacks Roman Reigns. Brock goes right into the gut of Reigns with a kick and a series of strikes.
Reigns was completely manhandled by Brock in the first half of the clash and the Universal Champion wasn’t able to hit back. Roman was clotheslined from the top rope and he went outside in pain.
The referee started counting for Brock to return to the ring, and Brock barely made it back to the ring at the 9th count. Roman hits another spear as soon as Brock is back in the ring and goes for a cover, but Brock kicked out. Roman hits three Superman punches, but Brock amazingly is charged up by his opponent’s assault.
Roman hits another spear at Brock into the corner crushing the referee. The referee goes down which gave Roman ample time to hit Brock with a low blow followed by a championship title strike on the skull of Brock. But Brock kicks out amazingly.
As the match drew to a close, Brock went for his Kumora Lock and almost had Reigns tap out, but Paul Heyman comes to the rescie by pushing the bottom rope towards Roman to help him break the lock.
Roman then got up and hit a running spear to Lesnar – the 5th Spear of the match and went for a successful pinfall to defeat the Beast Incarnate by hook or by crook and become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
