He revealed he’s had to buy some news cars and, but there could be more on the way as he spent the night trashing the Bloodline’s inner sanctum.

The Universal Champion took his time turning up, as we found out during the show he was in a car driving round New York with special counsel Paul Heyman by his side.

He promised to recreate , but when Kayla Braxton questioned the Beast, he admitted he was having too much fun.

Eventually, Roman arrived and headed to the ring with Heyman, as they wondered where Lesnar might be.

Eventually he popped up on the big screen and trashed the Head of the Table’s SUV with a pickaxe, before coming through the crowd – without a weapon – in an attempted attack.

Up next, Kofi Kingston was set to face Ridge Holland in a rematch from last week, but instead in what ended up being a decent sprint.

Unfortunately, the big moment was botched slightly, with the ring announcer mentioned Woods as accompanying Kofi, with the latter admitting it was supposed to be a surprise.

This has led to a Triple Threat between the trio for the IC Title on next week’s WrestleMania SmackDown show, which will be entertaining – but it’s very disappointing WWE couldn’t find space for Ricochet on the main cards.
