WWE Results: Brock Lesnar busted open, Roman Reigns beats long-term rival at Madison Square Garden mega live event (5th March, 2022)
WWE hosted a star-studded mega event at Madison Square Garden this weekend featuring top champions from both RAW and SmackDown.
Fightful Select reported the results of the recent show. Brock Lesnar was initially supposed to face Bobby Lashley in a WWE Championship match at the event. However, the latter was pulled out of the show and replaced by Austin Theory. The Beast Incarnate successfully defended his title, but his celebration was cut short by Roman Reigns.
The Universal Champion, along with The Usos and Paul Heyman, launched a brutal attack on Lesnar that left the latter busted open. Reigns then made a strong statement by holding both the titles over Lesnar, who was lying helplessly in the middle of the squared circle.
"BROCK LESNAR ... ACKNOWLEDGE ME!"

RAW Tag Team Champions The Alpha Academy faced RK-Bro in a title match. Randy Orton and Riddle could not beat the titleholders, which would motivate them when they clash again in a match for the tag team gold this week on RAW.
