Despite the fact that Braun Strowman had some big momentum leading into his Universal Championship match with Brock Lesnar at No Mercy, WWE officials did not change the finish of the match.
When WWE first planned the match several months ago, the plan was for Lesnar to retain, according to F4Wonline.com. Strowman vs. Lesnar as just another stop on the Road to WrestleMania 34. As noted, Roman Reigns is expected to go over Lesnar at Mania as WWE continues to try and make Reigns the top star in the company.
