Bobby Lashley Beats Brock Lesnar For The WWE Championship, Paul Heyman Realigns w/ Roman Reigns At 2022 Royal Rumble

Bobby Lashley is once again the WWE Champion, but his title win was not without controversy.

Brock Lesnar defended the WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley, but Roman Reigns made his presence felt and ultimately influenced the outcome of the match. Reigns showed up at ringside near the end of the match, hitting Lesnar with a surprise spear. The bigger surprise, however, was when Reigns asked Paul Heyman to hand him the WWE Championship, and Heyman ultimately obliged. Reigns hit Lesnar with the title, which allowed Lashley to spear Lesnar and pick up the win.

This is Bobby Lashley’s second WWE Championship reign; Lesnar’s sixth title reign ends at just 28 days.
