Reigns beat Lesnar during Sunday’s main event in front of nearly 80,000 fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The victory now unifies the WWE and Universal Championships.
Reigns pinned Lesnar with some outside help from The Usos at WWE’s Crown Jewel in October 2021, their last meeting before Sunday’s match.
The duo’s feud has been brewing for months since 44-year-old Lesnar returned to WWE last August. He quickly reignited his longstanding rivalry with Reigns, 36, who has been the company’s biggest star for nearly two years.
Lesnar and Reigns' match was the third time the two have faced each other at aWrestleManiamain event, with Lesnar winning their 2018WrestleManiafight.

“It feels good,” Reigns said. “There’s a lot of truth to what we put into the Tribal Chief character, the burden of the crown, of being the face of the company. I think everybody would like to be Superman, but to be able to have some of those Superman qualities, then also display the emotions, the mentality that comes into it, and the way it can affect a man. People connect to that.”
“People understand the struggle, people understand these different battles, these emotional battles that my character kind of displays on a weekly basis,” he explained. “I think it allows for a different connection, and that’s why it’s been received so well.”

While night one ofWrestleMania 38was full of spectacular matches, the biggest attraction was certainly the return of WWE legendStone Cold Steve Austin.
The 57-year-old faced heel Kevin Owens for his first match in 19 years, which saw him take (and deliver) hard hits and slams.
