There was one thing Brock Lesnar had never done in his illustrious career: wrestle in the Elimination Chamber. Lesnar addressed this on Saturday in Saudi Arabia, after which he was crowned WWE champion.
Lesnar competed in the Chamber alongside AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, Riddle, Austin Theory, and Bobby Lashley, who came in as champion after defeating Lesnar at the Royal Rumble in January. After Rollins powerbombed Theory into Lashley’s cell wall, sending him crashing into the metal frame, Lashley was removed from the contest due to “concussion precautions.” With Lashley out of the way, no one could stop Lesnar after he fled the constraints of his pod, and Lesnar easily defeated all other men in the contest to become a world champion for the tenth time in his career. After Reigns defended his universal championship by defeating Goldberg earlier in the evening, Lesnar’s fight with Roman Reigns will now be a title vs. title contest.
