The main event of the 2020 WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view saw The Fiend Bray Wyatt defeat Braun Strowman to become a two-time Universal Champion. Strowman and Wyatt have been feuding coming out of WrestleMania 36 and their feud hit its next checkpoint with a title switch. As Wyatt was recouping in the ring, he was speared by a returning Roman Reigns who chose to take himself off of WWE TV at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.
