Roman Reigns is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Reigns defeated CM Punk at WrestleMania 42 Sunday (Night Two), with a spear to win the title. Reigns is now a seven time WWE champion.
Below is an excerpt from Mike Tedesco’s WrestleMania 42 Night Two recap.
Punk drops several elbows on Reigns’ chest and kicks him out of the ring. Punk bounces Reigns’ face off the commentary table and lays him on it. Punk goes to the top rope and stands, looking down on Reigns. Punk gets a head of steam and hits a diving elbow drop off the top rope through Reigns and the commentary table! Reigns yells in pain. Punk slowly gets up and gets Reigns in the ring. Punk grabs Reigns and lifts him for a GTS. Punk hits it, but Reigns leans against the ropes upon impact. Reigns falls back onto Punk’s shoulders. Punk goes for a second GTS, but he collapses in exhaustion. Punk struggles to get to his feet. Reigns hits him with a Spear as he does, but he’s too exhausted and beaten up to capitalize. Punk is on his knees and wildly swings at Reigns, but he’s too far away. Reigns hits the ropes twice and hits another Spear. 1… 2… 3.
