WWE has confirmed that current Universal Champion Roman Reigns will do battle with Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel.
The Universal Title will seemingly be on the line if the Tribal Chief is still champion come October 21. At Extreme Rules next Sunday, Reigns will defend the gold against ‘Demon’ Finn Balor.
WWE broke the news on Twitter:

Brock Lesnar made his WWE return following the main-event of SummerSlam, confronting Reigns and Paul Heyman. During last week’s Madison Square Garden episode of SmackDown, Reigns had to save Heyman from an F5, before Lesnar laid out The Usos.
Crown Jewel is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
