In the main event at WWE Day One, Big E defended his WWE Championship against Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar in a Fatal 5-Way match. Brock Lesnar was added into the match because of Roman Reigns tested positive for COVID-19.
The match was a truly wild ride. At the start of the match everyone tried to attack Lesnar but he fought back and he hit several people with German suplexes before Big E jumped in the ring and took Lesnar out with a pair of clotheslines.
An absolutely CHAOTIC start to this #WWEChampionship #Fatal5Way Match!

Late in the match, Lesnar hit Rollins, Big E and Owens with F-5s before turning into a spear from Lashley for a near fall. Big E hit Lashley with a Big Ending and tried to do the same to Lesnar only for Lesnar to counter into an F-5 for the victory.
