Day 1: Brock Lesnar Crowned As New WWE Champion
Brock Lesnar defeated Big E, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley at Day 1 on Saturday night to become the new WWE Champion, comicbook.com reports.
“The Beast” was initially booked to face Roman Reigns at the Atlanta event, but Reigns announced earlier in the day that he had tested positive for COVID-19. This resulted in WWE inserting Lesnar into the show’s other world championship match.
After recovering from a Spear by Bobby Lashley, “The Beast” nailed E with an F5 and pinned the current champ to win the gold.
