WWE Draft 2021 

WWE Raw (Big E, Bianca BelAir, Randy Orton, Matt Riddle, Edge, Rhea Ripley, Nikki Cross, Keith Lee, Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio, Austin Theory)

WWE SmackDown (Roman Reigns, Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre, The New Day, Baron Corbin, Riddick Moss, Hit Row, Naomi, Jeff Hardy) 

Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar Segment 

Roman Reigns: As the back of the shirt says, we the ones, because I’m number one. So, Baltimore, Acknowledge Me!

Paul Heyman: I’m sorry, but that’s not loud enough for your Tribal Chief. It doesn’t surprise me from a room full of Baltimorons. Nor should it surprise anyone who is the number one draft pick, because if you think back before Extreme Rules you had to say, the undefeated demon, but now you can’t say that anymore because that demon ran up against an exorcist named Roman Reigns.

But like a shark that circles the island of relevancy, this shark only swims looking forward. And what this shark looks forward to is Crown Jewel, which will not be held in Suplex City. Because, ladies and gentlemen, I assure you, that beast will come up against the suplexorcist, Roman Reigns. Because Roman Reigns will remain your Universal Heavyweight Champion. And he will smash at Crown Jewel, Brock Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar makes his way down to the ring. Reigns throwing haymakers at Lesnar. Reigns repeatedly stomps on Lesnar’s chest. Reigns with rapid fire haymakers. Lesnar ducks a clothesline from Reigns. Lesnar with Two Release German Suplex’s. Lesnar clotheslines Jey Uso. Lesnar with a Release German Suplex to Jimmy. Lesnar tells Reigns to bring it. Reigns heads to the backstage area.
