WWE Payback 2020: Roman Reigns wins Universal Championship title after dramatic clash

Roman Reigns made a star-studded come back and become a two-time Universal Champion with a victory in the main event of WWE Payback 2020 on Monday (August 31). The Powerhouse once against showcased his dominance in the ring and pinned Strowman to secure the WWE Payback title. While Reigns remained absent for the large part of the match but made his entry after both the WWE superstars were down.

Roman charged at The Fiend-Strowman and managed to dominate the proceedings in the second half of the match. The Big Dog pinned Strowman to secure the title. However, due to him not pinning The Fiend in this clash, Reigns is likely to go up against him to defend his title next.

In the first quarter of the match, Strowman and The Fiend managed to put on a great show and managed to break the ring. Both WWE superstars had their fair bit of chances but the face of the match changed instantly when Roman Reigns walked out with a steel chair.

It was only last week when Reigns had made a shocking return at SummerSlam 2020 after a long time away from WWE and landed blows on The Fiend and Strowman after the main event. Reigns then proceeded to pick up the SummerSlam title to challenge the recently-crowned champion.
