10. Roman Reigns(c) vs Seth Rollins | Universal Championship Match (Royal Rumble 2022)
A tale of a brotherhood fallen into pieces was something that was nearly 8 years in the making had finally come to its true fruition as the two men at their peak and as pure heels clashed at this year’s Royal Rumble. The mind games from Rollins and the build up of anger from Reigns is what makes this match added by Rollins stealing the show and nearly taking the title several times. The ending sells the story of this matchbas Rollins’ mind games backfire on him as the anger from Reigns forces him to beat the near life out of Seth causing a DQ that doesn’t sit well with others, but sure does with me. ***1/2
09. Roman Reigns(c) vs Seth Rollins | WWE Championship Match (Money In The Bank 2016)
Reigns and Rollins have a history of matches that prelude their eventual clash nearly 6 years later. This took place after Seth Rollins returned from injury and so it was clearly a very big match. Throughout they wrestle a very good match, but this match is made by Rollins’ awesome Spear Pedrigree counter and the eventual title win that got a huge crowd reaction. We all know what happened next, but this match was brilliant from a booking standpoint. ***3/4
08. Roman Reigns(c) vs Kevin Owens | Universal Championship Last Man Standing Match (Royal Rumble 2021)
This match was the closing contest of a long lasting feud between the tribal chief and the near unstoppable Kevin Owens. They clashed all over the arena in an amazingly entertaining war. There’s not much else to say about this other then it’s great until the finish which I would just prefer to not even mention. ***3/4
07. Kevin Owens(c) vs Roman Reigns | Universal Championship No Holds Barred Match (Royal Rumble 2017)
Another clash between Reigns and Owens took place 4 years ago with much different implications. Owens was the mega heel champion and Reigns was the babyface trying to take the title from Owens after failed attempts. These two had a pretty great back and forth clash while Jericho was all alone in the shark cage unable to help Owens, but fear not because Braun Strowman randomly decided he hated Roman and cost him the match after Reigns nearly had Owens defeated. It’s a finish that made sense to start the next feud. ***3/4
06. Roman Reigns(c) vs Kevin Owens | Universal Championship Steel Cage Match (Friday Night Smackdown 12.25.20)
This list really shows the chemistry that Reigns and Owens had and how they really didn’t have a bad match together. This was a 25 minute war of a steel cage match with back and forth action, multiple finishers, and a lot of drama towards who would win this match. Reigns was only able to win when Jey Uso locked Owens to the cage making him unable to move. This finish protected Owens going towards their trilogy finale at Royal Rumble 2021. Great match. ****
05. Roman Reigns(c) vs AJ Styles | WWE Championship Extreme Rules Match (Extreme Rules 2016)
AJ Styles had been quickly taking over WWE with banger match after banger Match and after losing at Payback in controversial fashion the rematch was set and it was made into an Extreme Rules Match which truly raised the stakes. Styles was also transitioning into a heel during this feud which I liked. The match itself is great as they wrestled all over the place and had a ton of drama inserted into it. Styles beating the shit out of The Usos to getting multiple near falls, he was determined to win this, but was caught mid air into an awesome spear to end the match. Great match here. ****
04. Roman Reigns(c) vs Edge vs Daniel Bryan | Universal Championship Triple Threat Match (WrestleMania 37 Night 2)
The main event of last year’s WrestleMania was set when Daniel Bryan inserted himself into the original Roman Reigns vs Edge clash to make it a triple threat match of the ages. The match itself is pure chaos and drama throughput with Jey Uso being taken out almost immediately to make it a fair contest. The disadvantage of this being a triple threat match really comes in to play when the win is nearly secured several times only for the third man to ruin it all. This was especially shown between Bryan and Edge who showed they can defeat Reigns l, but their need for the title costing one another. The ending is brilliant with Reigns taking out both of them and pinning them on top of each other to show who the true king is. Awesome contest. ****
03. Roman Reigns(c) vs Kevin Owens | Universal Championship TLC Match (Tables, Ladders, & Chairs 2020)
At this point just give these two another feud. Jokes aside this was the best match between these two. Not only because of the action is this great, but the story told here is great as well. Owens the past couple years had been an underrated talent and had barely gotten any chances, but when he did he showed his resilience and dedication to winning that title. No matter what he would not stay down from Reigns’ attacks no matter the severity. Jey Uso was the only thing helping Reigns with keeping Owens down and even that nearly failed. Brilliantly told match here. ****
02. Brock Lesnar(c) vs Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins | WWE Championship Triple Threat Match (WrestleMania 31)
If you don’t know, the most of this match was Reigns vs Lesnar with Rollins cashing in at the end to win the Title. Before then these two put on their first and easily their best match. Lesnar absolutely destroys Reigns brutally and it is so entertaining to watch. Reigns’ comeback is also great as Roman nearly gets the win dramatically. Eventually they’re both knocked down before Rollins come outs and creates one of the most iconic WrestleMania moments. Great match that was booked flawlessly from top to bottom. ****
01. Brock Lesnar(c) vs Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman vs Samoa Joe | Universal Championship Fatal 4-Way Match (SummerSlam 2017)
I know Reigns doesn’t do that much here, but it still falls under a match with him so I count it. This was a phenomenal and chaotic war between all 4 of these guys as they would do anything in their power to win the Title for themselves. Brock being taken out early was a good decision as it let the other 3 guys do their thing and they had a great Triple threat style Clash. Brock Cane back in and absolutely tore house with Reigns surprisingly eating the match after a great match. ****1/4
