  • Roman Reigns is the undisputed WWE and Universal Champion
  • He unified the titles by beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38
  • Reigns and The Rock could face off in the near future

There is an update on whether Roman Reigns suffered an injury during his historic win at WrestleMania 38.

Roman Reigns took on Brock Lesnar in a "Title vs. Title" fight on Night 2 of WrestleMania 38 at AT&T Stadium, Texas, earlier this month. The Tribal Chief won the winner-takes-all match and unified the titles to become the undisputed WWE and Universal Champion.

It appeared that the fight ended abruptly because Reigns injured himself. However, it might not be the case, according to Dave Meltzer, who has a credible record in professional wrestling.

Wrestling Observer's Meltzer, on a recent episode of "Saturday Night's Main Event" podcast, said the reports of Reigns' injuries were not true. He claimed that the match went according to plan and that the "abrupt finish" was part of the WWE Company's script, according to Comicbook.com.

However, there is no official information on whether Reigns injured himself during the fight.

Many WWE fans took to social media to raise their concern over Reigns' injury. In a video, which went viral, it looked like Lesnar was subtly checking on his arch-rival regarding the injury. However, if Meltzer's report is true, the Tribal Chief certainly has managed to fool his fans and journalists alike.
