Brock Lesnar is still the WWE Universal Champion after defeating Roman Reigns in a steel cage match at The Greatest Royal Rumble event.

Well, "defeating" may not be the appropriate word.

After a hard-hitting, but rather typical slugfest (suplex, Superman Punch, F-5, spear, repeat) The Big Dog hit a devastating spear to The Beast, sending him right through the cage. Because Lesnar technically "escaped" the cage first, he retains the title.

The general rules state that a Superstar's feet must touch the floor first to be declared the winner, but this has obviously been set up to be a controversial win.

Will Reigns get another shot at Brock's title? Almost certainly.
