The angle between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar has been top tier, with Paul Heyman playing a massive role. Last week, things came to a head as The Tribal Chief fired his wise man after feeling betrayed. Roman attacked Heyman but was stopped by Lesnar.
The Beast Incarnate rushed to his former advocate's aid and attacked The Bloodline. He F5'ed the Universal Champion to stand tall at the end of SmackDown, much to the delight of fans.
WWE RAW Superstar T-Bar commented about the segment on Twitter:
"The final 10 minutes of SmackDown was so awesome," T-Bar tweeted.
Hopefully, WWE maintains the momentum Reigns and Lesnar have garnered heading into Day 1. It's the most exciting program in all of wrestling today.

The main reason why fans are so invested in the saga between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar is the uncertainty. WWE has kept everybody guessing and at the edge of their seats, which should bode well for the Day 1 pay-per-view.
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell thinks the New Year's Day show will do good numbers thanks to the Universal Championship match. On the latest episode of Smack Talk, he explained how the doubt over what happens next has made Reigns vs. Lesnar a must-see match:
"When it's interesting and you don't know really who's gonna win or where it's gonna go, that's when people say 'I'm gonna go see this'. I think [the pay-per-view] will do well."
This match can go several ways, with Brock Lesnar potentially reuniting with Paul Heyman and winning the Universal Championship. However, one cannot rule out the idea that The Bloodline and Heyman are in cahoots against The Beast Incarnate.
