Brock Lesnar shocked the world at WrestleMania 34 last night when he defeated Roman Reigns to retain his Universal Championship. Lesnar was considered to be the underdog heading into this match with many fans predicting that this would be a passing of the torch moment for Reigns as Lesnar looked likely to be heading back to UFC.

This obviously wasn't the case and once again, Brock Lesnar shocked the world inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans as he recorded one of the biggest shocks of the night, but why was Lesnar able to walk out with WWE's biggest prize after all of the build-up in recent weeks had pointed towards a win for Reigns?

One of the biggest rumors surrounding Brock Lesnar the last time he shocked the world in New Orleans back at WrestleMania 30, was that he wasn't the man who was supposed to win, he just decided that he wanted to. Even Paul Heyman had pitched this idea to the WWE Universe and since The Undertaker is yet to speak openly about the match, there is no one to argue that this isn't what Lesnar did four years ago.

If Lesnar's contract has come to an end now and he is set to head over to UFC, then there isn't anything that could have stopped him from destroying Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34 and walking out with his Championship anyway.
