For as physical and energizing as the match ended up being, the complete of Reigns winning neatly following a solitary lance (after Lesnar had entertainingly crushed Strowman outside the ring leaving Strowman unfit to move) removed all the rest of the air from the inflatable. The group response to the complete wasn’t as negative as one may envision however that changed once the show went off the air and it turned out to be evident that Strowman would not have been getting up to cash in.
