As we traverse the rich history of WWE rivalries, a distinct pattern arises, there exists an elite group of superstars who, despite their prowess, found themselves unable to conquer the formidable Roman Reigns. Let’s delve into the narratives of these ten remarkable individuals, exploring the moments when they faced the undeniable dominance of the Tribal Chief.
10. Sami Zayn:
The charismatic Sami Zayn, a former Intercontinental Champion, faced Roman Reigns seven times but fell short in each encounter. Notably, Zayn’s challenge at Elimination Chamber 2023 showcased his resilience, even in the face of Reigns’ supremacy, as he continued to defy the odds.
9. Mark Henry:
The World’s Strongest Man, Mark Henry, crossed paths with Roman Reigns during the latter’s ascent. Serving as a stepping stone, Henry fell to Reigns four times, a testament to WWE’s narrative of establishing Reigns as a formidable force in the main event scene.
8. Dolph Ziggler:
Known for his resilience, Dolph Ziggler often played the role of the sacrificial lamb in WWE storylines. Against Roman Reigns, Ziggler endured defeat nine times, reflecting his commitment to elevating fellow superstars, even at the cost of personal victories.
7. AJ Styles:
A celebrated former WWE Champion, AJ Styles, has etched his name in history. However, against Roman Reigns, Styles faced adversity, suffering seven defeats. As he contemplates a return, the Undisputed Universal Championship may once again be within his sights, providing an opportunity for redemption.
6. Edge:
In 2021, Edge stepped into the spotlight with Roman Reigns in their WrestleMania 37 clash. Despite Edge’s storied career, Roman Reigns emerged victorious in a triple-threat match, marking Edge’s second defeat in a memorable encounter at Money in the Bank 2021.
5. Chris Jericho:

3. The Undertaker:
The Undertaker, a living legend in WWE, met Roman Reigns in a historic clash at WrestleMania 33. While Undertaker’s WrestleMania legacy is illustrious, Roman Reigns secured a monumental victory, handing The Deadman only his second defeat at the grandest stage of them all.
2. Drew McIntyre:
The Scottish Warrior, Drew McIntyre, entered the ring with determination, yet Roman Reigns emerged victorious in all 30 matches.

A titan in the wrestling world, John Cena engaged in a protracted rivalry with Roman Reigns, marking a clash of eras. The 16-time World Champion, an icon in his own right, always put over Roman Reigns, losing to him in all 11 encounters.
