After enjoying success alongside his Sheild Brothers, Roman Reigns kicked off his singles run. While WWE positioned him as one of the top draws and the face of the company, the fans were not willing to accept that as they mercilessly booed Reigns during his ‘Head of the Table’ moniker.
However, it all changed when Reigns dropped the babyface act and turned heel, with his ‘Tribal Chief’ persona, kicking off one of the most iconic storylines, ‘The Bloodline Saga.’ The storyline also saw Reigns’ historic 1,316-day reign as WWE Universal Champion.
The title reign became the longest in modern WWE history and saw him defeat major names like Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes, AJ Styles, and Drew McIntyre, among others.
