Roman Reigns’s top 5 matches in WWE

Roman Reigns's top 5 matches in WWE

As a lifelong WWE fan who’s witnessed countless matches and wrestling eras, I can confidently say that Roman Reigns has left an indelible mark on the world of professional wrestling. His journey, fraught with trials and tribulations, has culminated in a career that will undoubtedly be studied for generations to come.


Roman Reigns, almost immediately after The Shield’s main roster debut in WWE, was labeled as “the main man.” Despite numerous mistakes, miscalculations, and less-than-ideal bookings, he has undeniably reached his peak potential. Fans eagerly await his every utterance. He works a reduced schedule. And he continues to command the spotlight, even when absent from the show. The countdown to SummerSlam 2024 is on, and the night’s major plot twist revolves around the highly anticipated return of Reigns, poised to confront Solo Sikoa’s reinterpretation of The Bloodline.

As a gamer reflecting on my journey in WWE, it’s clear that my runs will be talked about for years to come. Vince McMahon recognized my potential as a top-tier talent, but he seemed determined to derail my rise repeatedly. However, the global COVID-19 pandemic brought a twist, allowing me to reemerge as The Tribal Chief, marking the beginning of an unparalleled run in the industry.

Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns: Bloodline Rules

WrestleMania 40 – April 7, 2024

As a lifelong WWE fan who has witnessed countless matches and storylines unfold, I must say that Cody Rhodes’ victory over Roman Reigns was one for the ages. After years of anticipation and hype, it was finally time for Cody to “wrap up his narrative.” The phrase that fans had grown tired of reading and had become a meme, finally came true.

Despite the excitement surrounding “Avengers: Endgame”, the fight between Rhodes and Reigns earlier was equally impressive, showcasing exceptional ring skills. Indeed, this battle ranks among Rhodes’ finest performances since his comeback, and the raw emotion amplifies it even more, making it stand out.

Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns: Title vs Career

WWE SmackDown: April 30, 2021

Regardless of whether you know him as Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson, one thing is certain – he’s undeniably the greatest pro wrestler on the planet. As his remarkable career nears its close, he holds a unique position among Roman Reigns’ most memorable bouts.

Bryan and Reigns engaged in a prolonged rivalry, with their professional lives becoming intricately linked. With Reigns holding the WWE title as the Tribal Chief, Bryan staged a final bid for the championship, risking his career to dethrone him. The match was intense from beginning to end, and Reigns ultimately emerged victorious. However, what sets this fight apart is that it marked Bryan’s last appearance in WWE before joining All Elite Wrestling, adopting the name Bryan Danielson once again, and embarking on an impressive career resurgence.

Braun Strowman vs Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe

WWE SummerSlam: August 20, 2017

The WWE Universal Title match was sheer chaos, featuring Braun Strowman, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and Samoa Joe. As anticipated, they swiftly targeted Lesnar to minimize his impact. What followed was a series of intense power moves, resembling a “Meat Fest.” However, when Lesnar returned to the fight, the intensity didn’t diminish. Some spectators thought this could be the moment WWE would give the title to Samoa Joe, but it turned out to be another step in the feud between Lesnar and Reigns instead.

AJ Styles vs Roman Reigns: Extreme Rules

WWE Extreme Rules: May 22, 2016

A significant portion of AJ Styles’ WWE career can be described as being just below the main spotlight, despite holding numerous titles. However, many fans feel that he didn’t receive the top-tier run that they thought he deserved. This is particularly true during his rivalry with Roman Reigns in 2016, which was part of their extended feud. In this match, Reigns emerged victorious, but it was an engaging bout from start to finish – a precursor to the exceptional performer Styles would become later on.

The Wyatts vs The Shield: Six-Man Tag

WWE Monday Night Raw: March 3, 2014

This is a special match on the list. Not because of how great it was in the ring, but because it was. But more so because of the individuals we’ve lost since then. It will be one of the best matches that both Bray Wyatt and Brodie Lee took part in throughout their career and should be recognized as such. Pitting The Shield against the Wyatts was a big moment because it was one of those rare times that WWE gave the fans what they wanted. It was six men, two factions, both overly loved by the fans. All they wanted to see was the action that these characters would bring to life and it was delivered. Certainly, a must-watch among the best matches for all the parties involved.
