WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at the Grandest Stage of them All. This was the most awaited Biggest WrestleMania Match of all time between ‘The Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns and ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar. WWE announced that Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns at the Stupendous WrestleMania 38 will be a title Unification Match.
The question before this big match was whether ‘it was going to be Suplex City?’ Or ‘was it going to be the Island of Relevancy?’ Wrestling fans were on their toes as they expected this match to be incredible.

But did the Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar match live up to the expectations? Unfortunately, the answer is no. The main event of the so-called Biggest Match of All-time ended within 15minutes.
Wrestling fans stormed to Twitter and slammed WWE for hyping WrestleMania 38 main event!
‘Head of the Table’ Roman Reigns picked up the ultimate victory to become the WWE Unified Champion. He took home both the WWE and Universal Championship. Even though the company booked the match as the biggest of all time, wrestling fans did not seem to enjoy the WrestleMania 38 main event at all.
That was the most anticlimactic garbage. Everyone talks shit about spamming finishers when this was exactly that????? Greatest of all time? Not even close. Night 1 was better

A match where two superstars are spamming nothing but finishers is boring

Some wrestling fans imagined Pat McAfee vs. Austin Theory at WrestleMania 38 was better than the main event.

In addition, fans also preferred Logan Paul & The Miz’s battle against The Mysterious (Rey & Dominik Mysterio) over the main event.
How the hell was this the main event? It lasted shorter than Bianca vs Becky, and that at least felt concluded. This “greatest match of all time” was such a letdown. I only paid to see Knoxville I guess

The WWE Universe also believed that The EST of WWE Bianca Belair vs. The Man Becky Lynch lived beyond expectations. However, a ‘Champion vs. Champion’ match should have lasted longer.
It’s insane how the excitement of a Mania full of great matches goes away like this. Worse match of the weekend and even I wanted Reigns to win. pic.twitter.com/qcDlmTZplt

The writer's have gotten epically lazy. I've been watching since I was 8. Storylines used to matter, foundations were built and the story continued on like a movie. Maybe stop hiring people who don't understand plot writing, good vs evil, hero and villain. DM if you'd like help.

While some fans took shots at the WWE creative team, they felt that the company’s writers have become lazy.
