Universal Championship match was canceled due to Roman Reigns testing positive for Covid-19. Brock Lesnar was added to the WWE Championship match, making it a fatal 5-way.

I yearn to perform tonight at #WWEDay1 to defend my Universal Championship. However, unfortunately, earlier today I tested positive for COVID-19. Due to the proper protocols I am unable to compete as originally scheduled. I look forward to returning to action as soon as possible.
