Up next is the Universal Championship match. Bray Wyatt makes his way out first, followed by Universal Champion Braun Strowman.
This is Strowman’s first Universal Title defense. He won the Title by defeating WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg on Night 1 of WrestleMania 36.
The match begins and Strowman is dominating Wyatt with his power. Strowman tries to bulldoze Wyatt over the announce table, but misses and goes over the table himself.
Wyatt is now in control, as he DDTs Strowman on the floor and then clotheslines him in the ring.
