When legends collide, you know it’s going to be good. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel, showing the full match between Roman Reigns and John Cena for the WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam 2021. The end of this match also featured the return of Brock Lesnar since Reigns allied himself with Paul Heyman.

You can see the match in its entirety below:

From WWE.com:

Cena seemed to have found a spark by lining up for an Attitude Adjustment, but Reigns shrugged him off. The Universal Champion talked trash to Cena and all of Hollywood as the beatdown continued, but Cena never gave up, mounting a comeback after escaping from a sleeper hold. Cena connected with a Five Knuckle Shuffle and an Attitude Adjustment, but Reigns miraculously kicked out. Even Heyman was bewildered, mouthing, “Oh my God.”

A second AA through the announce table pushed Reigns to the brink again, but the Universal Champion improbably kicked out, causing a desperate Cena to try for a top-rope leg drop, which Reigns countered with a powerbomb.

After delivering another Superman Punch, Reigns declared the match was over and rushed for a Spear, only to come up empty and crash into the ring post. Cena went for broke with a top-rope Attitude Adjustment, but Reigns again kicked out to ensure Cena’s 17th World Title win would not come at his expense.

Cena then tried to embarrass Reigns, saying “Your time is up; my time is now,” and mocking the champion’s signature yell. But he earned a third Superman Punch for his efforts followed by a Spear that spelled the end of Cena.

The celebration was short-lived, though, as the signature riff of Brock Lesnar’s theme hit Allegiant Stadium. Heyman fell to his knees as his longtime client marched to the ring with his eyes set squarely on the blue-strapped title. His first time in a WWE ring in nearly 17 months, Lesnar was ready to throw hands against his longtime rival, but Reigns said not tonight.

 

Editor’s Opinion:

Everything about this match and this moment was awesome. Obviously, it was fantastic to see two of the greatest of all time go one on one, but when you add the return of Brock Lesnar to the equation, it makes for a night at the moment that none of us will ever forget!
