The Undertaker made his return at the event. He faced off against Rusev in a casket match. The Undertaker received a very loud pop from the crowd when the gong hit.

22) The Undertaker Defeated Rusev
As expected, the Undertaker defeated Rusev in the casket match. He put both Rusev and Aiden English in the casket and closed the lid. We got a pretty bad ass pyro show to close the match.
I didn’t expect it to end any differently. Great to see Rusev get the chance to be in the ring with a legend like ‘Taker.

23) Controversial Finish To The Universal Title Match
The event featured a Universal Championship rematch: Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns. This took place inside of a steel cage. It was another physical match as you likely expected.
Brock ended up retaining after getting speared through the cage. Brock’s body hit the floor first and was announced as the winner. There is only one problem, Roman’s feet hit the floor first, which should have given him the win.
A devastating SPEAR THROUGH THE CAGE means @BrockLesnar…is STILL #UniversalChampion! #WWEGRR pic.twitter.com/oyhoGl7DAy
