During a backstage interview with Charly Caruso, Paul Heyman says Brock Lesnar will hit Roman Reigns with the F5 and pin him to retain his Universal Champion – and that’s not a prediction, that’s a spoiler.

Up next is the WWE Cruiserweight Championship match. This is the first of the nine title matches tonight!

Drew Gulak makes his way out first and he’s billed at 193 lbs. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander makes his way out next and he’s billed at 200 lbs.

Axel tags in and he’s looking to hit a Perfect Plex on Wilder, but Wilder counters and rolls him up. However, the referee is focusing on Dallas and Dawson.
