Reigns defeats Big E, Becky Lynch stops Charlotte Flair
[ad_1]
Roman Reigns has made a habit of closing out the main events of WWE pay-per-view events in 2021 in victory, only for a WWE legend to interrupt the celebration with a challenge.
But John Cena and Brock Lesnar weren’t walking down that ramp Sunday night at the Barclays Center. For a change, Reigns hoisted his Universal championship high in the air after defeating Big E in the main event of Survivor Series, and that’s how the pay-per-view went off the air.
On a night when the stars of WWE were sorted into Raw and SmackDown and enemies became allies (and then enemies again, in some cases), Reigns and Big E put a solid bow on a night that could’ve easily been a forgotten blip in the WWE’s history books.
Reigns and Big E trace their roots back to before NXT was a creator of future WWE talent, to Florida Championship Wrestling. But through all of those years, their careers had only collided in multi-way matches and tag team clashes — the latter during some tremendous clashes featuring The Shield and The New Day.
But until they met on Sunday, it had never been 1-on-1. Despite both men being world champions, Reigns vocally doubted Big E throughout the match, called him a comedy wrestler and put him down. And each time Big E absorbed a hit, be it physical or psychological, he kept getting back up. No matter if Reigns took out his knee, or hit a flurry of Superman punches, or tossed him around ringside, Big E refused to stay down.
Reigns rarely made it easy for long. Even as Big E seized control of the match with a Uranage and a stretch Muffler Submission, Reigns showed off some awesome strength by hitting the dense Big E with a one-armed powerbomb.
