The WWE Championship changed hands at the Royal Rumble event after Paul Heyman turned on Brock Lesnar and re-aligned himself with the 'Tribal Chief' Roman Reigns.

Lesnar appeared to have Bobby Lashley beaten during their WWE Championship match before Reigns would appear and attack the Beast Incarnate.

In a major shock, Heyman would pass the WWE Championship to Reigns who would then attack Lesnar with a clear shot to the head.

This all occurred whilst the referee in charge of the action was down, and it would lead to Lashley becoming the WWE Champion once again.

It is likely that we will now see Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns take place at WrestleMania 38 for the Universal Championship, it just remains to be seen when WWE will officially make the announcement for the mega match.

Bobby Lashley will now also go on to WrestleMania 38, most likely to face the winner of the Men's Royal Rumble match that is set to take place tonight.
