Roman Reigns Articles - Page 12

Opening up SmackDown with one of his signature promos, Paul Heyman walked down to the ring to let the WWE Universe know that while Cody Rhodes is a viable challenger for the “Head of the Table,” Sami Zayn is not. Disagreeing with Rhodes’ comments that WWE’s titles aren’t personal, suggesting instead that the Undisputed WWE […]

The Elimination Chamber PPV is shaping up to be an early candidate for the event of the year. WWE is putting together a card better than I could have ever expected it to be only a few weeks removed from the Royal Rumble. We all knew the event would be highlighted by Roman Reigns vs. […]

On paper, it makes sense that Cody Rhodes is a big fan of Paul Heyman. Both spearheaded alternatives to WWE that capitalized on being the “cool” promotion at the time, both have a deep, near-encyclopedic knowledge of the professional wrestling business, and both are scheduled to appear in the main event of WrestleMania 39, with […]

The winner of the Royal Rumble is guaranteed a world championship match at WrestleMania. In the past, the road to WrestleMania was pretty simple for whoever won the Royal Rumble match. You pick the world champion of your choosing, and the match is set. This year is a little different, though. Technically Roman Reigns is […]

Though WrestleMania 39 is still almost two months away, that hasn’t stopped Cody Rhodes from going on a bit of a media tour to help promote his main event spot with Roman Reigns, and after six months on the shelf, “The American Nightmare” has a lot to say. Want WWE to bring back the Winged […]

The Road to WrestleMania is in full swing. After the Royal Rumble, we have a good idea of what’s to come over the next few months. We know Cody Rhodes will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undispusted Universal Championship at WrestleMania. As of right now, the match will be for both titles, not just the […]

It has been over a week since Sami Zayn’s shocking betrayal of Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. Not only that, it has been over a week since Jey Uso walked out on his own family in defense of Sami Zayn. I’ve said time and time before that this entire story involving The Bloodline has […]

After officially turning his back on Roman Reigns and The Bloodline at the Royal Rumble, fans across the professional wrestling world wanted to know what was next for Sami Zayn. Would he show his face on SmackDown with Kevin Owens and Jey Uso, forming a trio capable of matching wits with Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and […]

While Cody Rhodes has barely been back in WWE a week and has only been on television once since securing a win at the Royal Rumble, he’s already looking ahead to his biggest challenge in professional wrestling: taking on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39. Rhodes discussed the match on […]

For the first time in the 2023 calendar year and in almost a calendar year, Sami Zayn is a man without a faction in WWE. Now sure, technically, Zayn most likely has Kevin Owens, who he saved at the end of the Royal Rumble, and maybe Jey Uso too, who walked away from his family […]

As Sami Zayn learned all too well at the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble, dreams don’t last forever. Sometimes a dream opportunity comes along for a day, sometimes you luck into an unrepeatable result, heck, sometimes you get added to the most popular act in all of professional wrestling and become the most over man in […]

The ending to the Royal Rumble left us all speechless. Sami Zayn made the first move and turned on Roman Reigns and the Bloodline. After Reigns continued to belittle and get in Sami Zayn’s face about attacking Kevin Owens, Zayn hit Reigns in the back with a steel chair. Sami Zayn had enough of Reigns […]

Jey Uso has long been the alpha dog of The Usos tag team. Sure, there have been stories where Jimmy took center stage, like his angle with Mandy Rose and Naomi that aged particularly poorly considering why WWE decided to fire the leader of Toxic Attraction but ever since The Bloodline came into being, Jey […]

The American Nightmare is back! After a long period of rehabbing his torn pectoral muscle, Cody Rhodes made his triumphant return at the Royal Rumble. Rhodes was the last entrant of the Rumble, eliminating Gunther to win the annual battle royale. After the win, Rhodes was asked about a potential match against the Undisputed WWE […]

Well, this is going to be a rather interesting conundrum for Triple H. The 2023 Royal Rumble went about as expected, for the most part. Title defenses were held, and the projected winners actually won. Cody Rhodes won the Men’s Rumble, setting up a long-awaited match against Roman Reigns, possibly at Wrestlemania. But then, something […]

Well, about damn time this happened. WWE fans knew that at some point, Sami Zayn HAD to betray Roman Reigns and the Bloodline at some point. However, the folks at Triple H’s writer’s room decided to not rush things, instead keeping the tension and anticipation around. Everyone knew it was bound to happen, no one […]

With the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event done and dusted, with both Rhea Ripley and Cody Rhodes given the keys to WrestleMania, we ended the Main Event with Roman Reigns still your WWE Universal World Heavyweight Champion. The brutal main event saw the Head of the Table ravage not only Kevin Owens but also the […]

Roman Reigns is the top performer in WWE for a reason; he’s got a million-dollar body, a personality built for television, and the sort of in-ring abilities that hold up against darn near every single performer across the promotion’s history. So naturally, when Reigns was booked to face off against Kevin Owens at the Royal […]

And just like that, it became official: Cody Rhodes will main event WrestleMania 39 after running the table at the WWE Royal Rumble. Entering the match at entrant 30, Rhodes entered a contest loaded to the brim with interesting opponents, from long-time rival Seth Rollins to entrant number one, GUNTHER, and even Logan Paul, who […]

Sami Zayn wants to be WWE Champion. Now granted, that’s probably not something a member of The Bloodline should say, what with Roman Reigns currently holding the belt, but in a conversation with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Zayn laid out why he’d love to win the Royal Rumble and how he believes nine months […]

Folks, it’s official: the 2023 Royal Rumble is officially upon us. All of the groundwork has been laid, the feuds have been solidified, and at the end of the night, the “Road to WrestleMania” will officially begin. And the best part? Because of the nature of the Royal Rumble, there should be plenty of intrigue […]

Roman Reigns is amidst one of the most historic championship reigns in WWE history. Reigns has been WWE Universal Champion for 877 days and has held the WWE Championship for 296 days. When you look up the word “dominant” in the dictionary, a picture of Roman Reigns will pop up. Over the last two years, […]

The Miz wasn’t booked for RAW XXX, and as the WWE Universe found out, he wasn’t particularly happy about that fact. Hijacking the ring immediately following the Bianca Belair match against Sonya Deville, The Miz got a mic to air his grievances over why he, a double Triple Crown Champion, wouldn’t be booked for a […]

After going through a whirlwind of emotions on SmackDown, from arriving with the Bloodline to being kicked out of Roman Reigns’ locker room by the “Tribal Cheif” and Paul Heyman, to being invited back into the group but not to the contract signing only to emerge from the back too late to stop Kevin Owens […]

Sami Zayn was dealt a bad hand on Friday Night SmackDown. Arriving at the WWE show alongside his Island of Relevancy buddies, The Bloodline, Zayn was rejected by “The Tribal Cheif” not once but twice on the show before being kicked out of the group’s locker room following an impassioned speech from Reigns declaring that […]

Acknowledgment is in order for the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. Today officially marks Roman Reigns’ 871st day as the WWE Universal Champion, surpassing Gunther’s 870-day NXT UK title reign. This means that Roman Reigns has officially had the longest championship reign in WWE over the last 3+ decades. Let’s take a moment to recognize what […]

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s career is in the middle of a very interesting spot at the moment. On paper, he remains one of the hottest names in, well, basically all entertainment, as he starred in a major motion picture, sold an absolute ton of his signature tequila, and just generally dominated all things social media […]

Hear me out. There have only been a handful of times in history where the WWE championship was defended in the Royal Rumble match. Ironically enough, Roman Reigns was the last superstar to do it in 2016. It’s not a move you make just for fun, and there needs to be a reason for it. […]

Being a WWE wrestler is certainly not easy. It not only requires numerous hours at the gym, but also plenty of practice in terms of delivering promos, selling finishers, and many more. While several wrestlers we know today have fallen in love with the sport since Day 1, that wasn’t always the case. In fact, […]

With 2022 winding down, it’s hard to say anyone on the WWE Universe had a better year than Sami Zayn; he worked a marquee match with Johnny Knoxville at WrestleMania 38 that garnered press coverage outside of the professional wrestling world, joined the top faction in all of wrestling, The Bloodline, and surprisingly got it […]

Stephen A. Smith is the heel – to borrow a phrase from WWE – of the sports debate format. From his time working with Skip Bayless, then Max Kellerman, and now in an open format where he takes on open challenges and smites them down like he’s the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion Roman “Freakin’” […]

Solo Sikoa is seemingly living the dream in WWE; he’s been called up to the main roster after winning the North American Championship in NXT – even if his reign was technically vacated by Shawn Michaels – joining the hottest act in the business in The Bloodline, and gets to spend time working with his […]

John Cena has been a member of the WWE Universe for 20 years, as his 20-year anniversary celebration earlier this year was held to celebrate. He’s wrestled in 2,218 matches, according to Cagematch, won 25 championships in the promotion – 27 if you count OVW – and at the tender age of 45, could theoretically […]

Sami Zayn is on a roll in the WWE Universe; he’s uber-over with the fans, he’s a WarGames winner, and, after months of in-fighting, Jey Uso can finally call him a friend, completing his acceptance within The Bloodline. Surely life is good for Zayn, but being friends with Jey isn’t just a one-way street. No, […]

Last year at Wrestlemania 38, the WWE decided to unify both their world titles into the Undisputed Universal Championship. Although they are both technically individual titles, they have both been defended as one throughout the year. Roman Reigns has held onto both titles for almost a year, and with Wrestlemania 39 around the corner, it’s […]

Sami Zayn has been a member of the WWE Universe since 2013, when he jumped ship from the indies – namely Ring of Honor – to the “big leagues.”  Whether working on RAW, SmackDown, or NXT, Zayn has taken part in 810 official WWE matches, according to Cagematch, with hundreds more matches spent ringside serving […]

With Survivor Series in the rearview mirror, it’s time to look ahead to the Road to WrestleMania. With the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber coming up, it’s time to discuss Roman Reigns’ next opponents at those events. It’s still up in the air whether or not Roman Reigns is taking on The Rock at […]

And just that, it was done; WWE’s Survivor Series WarGames is officially over, and needless to say, fans of The Fed the world over will be talking about this one for a long, long time. From Becky Lynch’s big-time return in a huge way to the WWE Universe as the ringer of Team Bianca Belair […]

Paul Heyman doesn’t think Roman Reigns gets the respect he deserves from the WWE Universe and the greater professional wrestling world as a whole. Now sure, maybe that’s just a manager hyping up his client or the sort of old-man-yelling-at-clouds schtick that Rodney Dangerfield had mastered by the 1980s, but when talking to Jonathan Snowden […]
