Why Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania was short - Reports
Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar faced each other in the main event of WrestleMania 38. The two men put their respective world titles on the line against with a winner-takes-all stipulation. There was speculation that the match might have been cut short due to an injury. However, that is not true.
The match between the two stars lasted only 12 minutes. Fans had expected the match to go longer considering other matches on the card crossed the 20-minute mark. While Lesnar's most matches are usually kept short, the ending felt rushed and abrupt, sparking rumors that a potential Reigns injury had something to do with it.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer stated on Sunday Night's Main Event that the match did not deviate from the original plan. The ending was not abrupt as WWE had planned a short match for the two men considering that is how they always lay out Brock Lesnar's matches.
“That’s not even true. That was the match. That was the match that was laid out.” Meltzer added, “That’s the nature of the way they put Lesnar matches together which is boom boom boom, big move big move…it was not a bad match by any means. It was a Brock Lesnar match, no different from many others.”
