WWE SmackDown: December 3rd, 2021, brought a surprise for the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Even though he knew Brock Lesnar was coming back, he didn’t quite expect what The Beast was capable of.

Brock Lesnar convinced #1 contender, Sami Zayn, to challenge The Tribal Chief for the Universal Championship on SmackDown itself rather than waiting for Day 1.

Coming to the main event of WWE SmackDown: December 3rd, 2021, Zayn came out to accuse the WWE Universe of never supporting him and conspiring against him. He revealed the only person who has ever supported him was Brock Lesnar, and guess who arrived next? The Beast Incarnate!
