Bengaluru,
Dec.
4:
WWE
Day
1
is
about
to
kick
things
off
in
a
grand
way
for
the
WWE
in
2022
as
the
company
is
offering
the
biggest
match
possible
in
the
Universal
Championship.
The
PPV
will
see
Roman
Reigns
defending
the
Universal
Title
against
Brock
Lesnar.

Originally,
Sami
Zayn
was
supposed
to
get
the
title
shot
as
he’s
the
number-one
contender
for
the
title
by
winning
the
Black
Friday
Battle
Royal,
last
week.
But
Brock
Lesnar
made
his
return
on
WWE
TV
and
talked
Zayn
into
getting
his
title
shot
right
there
on
Smackdown.

Lesnar
also
interrupted
Zayn
and
Sonya
Deville
in
a
backstage
segment
as
the
latter
announced
that
Lesnar
would
headline
WWE
Day
1
with
the
winner
of
Zayn
vs.
Reigns
SmackDown
main
event
from
the
AT&T
Center
in
San
Antonio,
Texas.

Before
the
main
event,
Zayn
cut
a
promo
with
Brock
Lesnar
being
present
in
the
ring
to
watch
his
back.
Zayn
ended
up
reminding
how
Lesnar
was
defeated
by
Reigns
at
WWE
Crown
Jewel.
An
irate
beast
then
ended
up
taking
out
Zayn
with
three
German
suplexes
and
two
F5s.

back
on

due
