In the final match of the night, Roman Reigns put his WWE Univeral Championship on the line against Edge.
Edge and Reigns stood face to face in the ring before the match got started and there was a split “let’s go Roman/let’s go Edge” chant. After a lock-up, Edge slapped Reigns in the face. Reigns eventually hit a shoulder block and then he took over on offense for several minutes, including a very long chokehold.
Edge broke free of the chokehold but Reigns stopped his rally with an uppercut to the jaw. Reigns followed up with the drive by as Edge was draped over the bottom rope. Reigns went for the Superman punch but Edge countered with a backslide. Reigns kicked out and then both men knocked each other out with a big boot at the same time.
They traded blows in the center of the ring and then Edge got a near fall after hitting the Edge drop. Reigns went for a spear but Edge hit a flapjack and the Edgecution into a near fall. Edge set up Reigns on the top rope and then rammed his head onto the top of the ring post. Edge then stopped Reigns in the corner and then he locked Reigns into a crossface submission but Reigns was able to grab the bottom rope to break the hold.
Reigns turned things around when he locked Edge in the guillotine choke. Edge drove Reigns and himself through the ropes to break up the hold. Reigns went for a spear but Edge moved and Reigns crashed through the barricade. Edge stopped the referee from counting so he could run out to spear Reigns through another barricade. Edge carried Reigns back in the ring and then went for the pin attempt but Reigns was able to get his arm up.
Reigns hit the Superman punch but Edge was driven into referee Charles Robinson’s knee. With the referee still out of it, Reigns grabbed the steel bar off a chair and he tried to wrap it around Edge’s mouth but Edge fought out of it and nailed Reigns with a flurry of headbutts. Edge then locked in the hold with the bar around Reigns’ mouth but there was no referee available. The Uso went out to the ring but Rey and Dominik were out to take them out of the ringside area. Seth Rollins ran in the ring and superkicked Edge in the head and that broke the hold.
Reigns went for the spear but Edge caught him with his spear. A second referee ran in to make the count but Reigns kicked out. Rollins was back and Edge took him out with the boot. The distraction allowed Reigns to hit the spear and the pin to retain the title.
Rollins continued the attack on Edge after the match and then Rollins and Reigns stood face to face. Edge got back up and he and Rollins brawled through the crowd. Reigns grabbed the microphone and said the whole world can acknowlege him.
John Cena’s music played and walked out to a huge pop. He stood in the ring and looked at Reigns and then the show ended as Cena posed on the middle turnbuckle. This is the main event for SummerSlam.
