‘The OTC’ has participated in six Royal Rumble matches so far
There are multiple accolades and records that ‘The OTC’ Roman Reigns has accomplished in his WWE career which began in 2010. Today we will take a look at his incredible record in the men’s Royal Rumble matches.
The OTC made his debut in 2012 along with Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley) and Seth Rollins, together they wreaked havoc in the promotion until their split in 2014 when Rollins betrayed his stablemates and joined hands with Triple H and The Authority.
After the split of the Shield faction, Reigns kicked off his singles career and was quickly put in the title contention. Although, Roman’s first Rumble entrance was in 2014 where he was eliminated by Batista who picked up the win in the end.
Despite initial struggle in front of fans who thought he was undeserving and booed him, Reigns slowly took over them and became one of the biggest stars the promotion has ever seen. Reigns title reign of 1316 days is one of the most dominant reigns of recent times.

The OTC has participated in a total of six Rumble matches namely the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020. As mentioned above, Reigns has only won the Rumble on one occasion in 2015.
However, if you look closely at his Royal Rumble stats, the OTC has never finished out of third place and has been the runner-up in four matches. The Rumble stats are one of many examples of his sheer dominance and accolades in the WWE.
Roman Reigns will enter the men’s Royal Rumble match for the seventh time this year as he looks to win the match and challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed title. The OTC wants to reclaim the title that he lost at the hand of Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
