Roman 'Reigns' WWE Payback clash, defeats AJ Styles to retain World Champion title

Despite of all the booing around the stadium, it seemed that nothing affected Roman Reigns from retaining his World Heavyweight Champion title as he defeated AJ Styles at Chicago on Sunday.

The 'new era' WWE made a solid start with this thrilling Payback match and getting the audiences on the edge of their seats.

The match was restarted twice, first by Shane McMahon after Reigns was counted out (a result that does not allow the title to change hands) and again by Stephanie McMahon after Reigns inadvertently committed a low blow and was disqualified (same).

There were dives outside the ring, top-rope forearms and punches aplenty over the final few minutes of the fast-paced match, which ultimately concluded with Reigns spearing Styles to retain his title.

Although Reigns retained his title, Vince McMahon, having a word backstage with his son and daughter, agreed that Reigns and Styles would have a rematch in three weeks at Extreme Rules in the ' Extreme Rules Match'.

In the WWE Women's Championship, Charlotte and Natalya fought it out for the title, with Charlotte eventually winning under controversial circumstances, locking her rival in a sharpshooter but Natalya didn’t tap out even when the ref said so.

The much thrilling and exciting night ended with McMahon announcing that both his son and daughter, Shane and Stephanie McMahon, will control Raw together beginning Monday night.
