WWE Universal Champions ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar continues to dominate at the Royal Rumble, as he retained the title after overpowering Braun Strowman and Kane at WWE pay-per-view.
Taking full advantage of the no-holds-barred atmosphere these three juggernauts wielded chairs, tables, and steel steps in the night’s most barbaric clash by far.
The Monster Among Men (Strowman) looked to put Lesnar away with multiple ring-shaking Running Powerslams. Strowman seemed primed to end the reign of The Conqueror and claim his first championship in WWE, but The Big Red Machine targeted Strowman with a series of steel chair strikes.

After the masked menace knocked a dazed Strowman from the apron to the floor, Lesnar took advantage of the momentary distraction by hitting Kane with a wince-inducing F-5 onto a steel chair.
Three seconds later, Lesnar was declared the victor and, by extension, the most dominant titan on Raw.
Lesnar might have his Universal Championship, but Strowman is far from finished with The Beast Incarnate.
