New Universal Champion To Be Crowned At WWE Crown Jewel


WWE has announced that the vacant WWE Universal Championship will be decided at Crown Jewel on November 2 when Brock Lesnar takes on Braun Strowman in singles action. This match was previously a Triple Threat with Reigns defending.

As noted, Roman Reigns opened Raw tonight by shockingly announcing that he is battling leukemia and would need to relinquish the Universal Championship. Reigns promised that this was not a retirement speech, that he will be back home at WWE "very, very soon."
