WWE SummerSlam: Roman Reigns goes viral for effortless moment with Brock Lesnar
WWE’s biggest party of the summer took place last night at SummerSlam and it wasn’t just the fighting that went viral.
A video posted to Twitter by Ryan Satin has gone viral as it shows Brock Lesnar, who is stood on a tractor, no seriously, throwing a microphone to Roman Reigns who is waiting in the ring.
Reigns barely moves a muscle as he effortlessly catches the microphone in his left hand, much to the bafflement of the fans.
Fans were quick to comment on the action with one saying: “That was smooth as butter,” whilst another added: “He didn’t lose eye contact for a SECOND either. Props to Reigns that was cool.”
One fan commented: “Cameras caught him winking at Brock just after … was wondering why he winked,” whilst another stated: “That’s what happens when you’re in G.O.D. mode.”

Reigns and Lesnar delivered a spectacle in the main event of the show which took place at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville. The fight was contested under Last Man Standing rules for Reigns’ undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
The pair certainly put on a show as the fight saw everything from intense brawling and broken tables to Lesnar using a tractor to lift half of the ring off the ground.
Lesnar seemed to dominate the fight from early on after performing a belly-to-belly suplex off the ring steps before he dumped Reigns over the ringside barrier. Reigns eventually got some offence going when he performed a Samoan drop through a table after a distraction by Paul Heyman.
Midway through the match, the pair had to fight off an attempt by Theory to cash in the Money in the Bank contract, which added a whole new level
