During Sunday night’s WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event, we saw WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeat “The Demon King” Finn Balor in an Extreme Rules match to retain his title.
Reigns retained the WWE Universal Championship when a revived “Demon”, who was about to deliver the Coup de Grace, was subject to the ring ropes breaking and falling to the mat. Reigns then speared Balor to win.
The announcers sold the whole thing as a freak accident.
You can check out some highlights from the match below:
