Brock Lesnar became the new WWE champion after winning the fatal 5-way match. The Universal Champion Roman Reigns declared his absence at Day 1 pay-per-view. Being COVID-19 positive, Reigns’ could not compete on ‘Day 1′. However, WWE made surprise changes in the main event match, making the fatal 4-way a fatal 5-way match adding Brock Lesnar.

The addition of The Beast meant that the fatal 5-way match was highly anticipated. However, this wasn’t the original plan for the WWE Title match. Before Roman Reigns’ withdrawal from the event, Big E was supposed to retain his WWE title on Day 1 against the other three men.

A post from WWE revealed the original plans for the WWE Championship. At the recent pay-per-view, fans saw Big E defending his title against Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens, and Brock Lesnar. If Lesnar wasn’t booked for the WWE Title match, it was crystal clear that Big E would have retained the title.

Fans saw Brock Lesnar doing what he does best as he dominated the in-ring action and became a 6-time WWE Champion.
