‘The Beast‘ Brock Lesnar has somehow managed to defend his Universal title in incredible fashion despite being taken off on a stretcher to winning the Fatal 4 Way at WWE’S SummerSlam pay-per-view in New York.
Former UFC champ had threatened to leave the company and return to the UFC to fight Jon Jones if he lost his title, but today’s result ensures he’ll be staying put with the wrestling promotion.
The Beast Incarnate was thrown through two announcement tables and had one tipped over his head before storming back to defeat Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns.

Strowman’s rampage did not stop there. He picked up a steel staircase to attack Reigns and Joe.
But Reigns then countered and it took three shots with the staircase to knock Strowman out of the ring and onto the floor.
Although as Joe and Reigns battled, Strowman returned to do a double choke slam on the pair.

However, the defending champ Lesnar incredibly stormed back to the ring and speared Strowman.
A series of Superman punches from Reigns interrupted the Beast Incarnate’s flow. However, the latter won by plucking Reigns up from an attempted spear to F5 him to win by pinfall to retain his title.
In another match, it have been a fry-tale reunion for Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins as they defeated Cesaro and Sheamus to win tag-team titles.
