Roman Reigns becomes 3-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 32
Though most fans at AT&T Stadium were left unsatisfied by the final result, the polarizing Roman Reigns hoisted the WWE World Heavyweight Championship over his head in victory on Sunday night.

As former champion Triple H looked to deliver a final blow with his trademark sledgehammer, Reigns ducked the attempted shot and nailed his finishing Spear to the gut of WWE's COO to keep him down for the three-count.
"The Cerebral Assassin" came within an eyelash of retaining his belt after delivering a Pedigree to the former Shield enforcer, moments after Reigns had accidentally speared his wife, Stephanie McMahon.
This is Reigns' third run with the championship since Nov. 22 of last year.
