Brock Lesnar’s seventh WWE Championship reign began at Elimination Chamber
One month after losing the title to Bobby Lashley at the Royal Rumble show, Lesnar regained the title inside the Elimination Chamber. Lashley had to be removed from the match after suffering an injury, following which The Beast Incarnate ran roughshod over the others in the Chamber.
Lesnar eliminated Seth Rollins, Riddle, AJ Styles, and finally Austin Theory to win the title for the seventh time in his career. He has now won 10 world titles in the company, which includes three Universal Championship reigns apart from the seven WWE Championship reigns.
The champion will put his title on the line at WrestleMania 38 when he and Roman Reigns face off in a Winner Take All match.
