WWE referee Chad Patton took to Twitter today and wrote the following on the controversial finish to the Steel Cage match between Roman Reigns and WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia. The finish saw Lesnar get the win after Reigns Speared him through the cage wall, causing Lesnar to hit the floor first on his back.
It will be interesting to see how this storyline plays out on tonight’s RAW from Montreal as Reigns prepares to face Samoa Joe at Sunday’s Backlash pay-per-view. Lesnar is not scheduled to appear tonight.

I understand i made an incorrect decision & want to apologize. During the #UniversalTitle match at #WWEGRR, i saw Brock Lesnar go thru the cage first and was concerned for the health and safety of both superstars.
