Roman Reigns Articles - Page 13

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 […]

Though it feels like they’ve been working together forever, Sami Zayn has only been part of WWE’s The Bloodline for roughly six months, when he started hanging around the faction shortly after WrestleMania. Since then, Zayn has weaseled his way into (almost) every member of the faction’s heart, including Solo Sikoa, who wasn’t even a […]

If there’s one thing WWE fans should be thankful for in 2022, it’s Sami Zayn. Though he started off the year nondescript enough, feuding with Johnny Knoxville in a comedy angle that ultimately paid off in a very unusual match at WrestleMania that featured mousetraps, bowling balls, and other Jack*ss-style shenanigans, Zayn teamed up with […]

Sitting down with his buddies on the imPAULsive podcast, Logan Paul finally gave his side of the story on what happened at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. “I don’t know how to say this, I lost.” Paul stated. “So check it out, we just got back from Saudi Arabia, WWE Crown Jewel, I faced […]

It’s hard to call Logan Paul’s third match in WWE anything but a resounding success. Sure, technically, he lost the contest, which was very widely expected, but he took shots from Roman Reigns like a champ, got in some impressive shots of his own – even if one has basically stolen from “Hangman” Adam Page […]

When Logan Paul and Roman Reigns entered the ring for the main event of Crown Jewel, it was crystal clear that WWE really wanted the match to feel like a spectacle. The duo had massive instructions, worked a deliberately paced match that felt much different than any other bout on the card, and did everything […]

It’s here, it’s finally here: WWE Crown Jewel is upon us. While the show is coming a bit earlier than the usual WWE “Premium Live Event,” what with the show being broadcast live on Peacock from Saudi Arabia, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has assembled an eight-match card that features a little bit of everything for […]

When WWE announced that they were holding a press conference on Friday ahead of their Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia, fans knew that there would be some sort of interesting angle introduced by Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company to add to the spectacle of the affair, but few knew exactly what the 14-time […]

Though Logan Paul hasn’t even wrestled Roman Reigns yet, with his third professional match scheduled against the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion at Crown Jewel, the social media star already has his sights set on a bigger opponent than the man he dubbed “The Goat” in the leadup to their match announcement: Dwayne “The Rock” […]

When Karrion Kross takes the ring at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, it will mark three months to the day since Scarlett and “The Killer” arrived in WWE. While that may not seem like a long time, and in a way it isn’t, a lot has happened since that fateful day in August; the White […]

On the penultimate edition of SmackDown before Crown Jewel, Paul Heyman was bothered about his ward Roman Reigns’ forthcoming match against Logan Paul for the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship. Sure, Heyman has managed some of the best in the business, which Reigns very much is, and Paul has exactly two professional matches to his […]

On the penultimate episode of WWE SmackDown before Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, Jey Uso wasn’t being very “Uce-y.” What, you may ask, is “Uce-y?” Well, that’s hard to explain, really, as Sami Zayn sort of made it up on the spot in a hilarious adlib that got the entire Bloodline laughing their you-know-whats-off while […]

Though he hasn’t wrestled a match since February, when Goldberg talks on professional wrestling, be that WWE, NXT, or otherwise, folks tend to listen… and then write about it afterward. A lightning rod for controversy who remains vehemently hated by the one and only Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Goldberg is one of the legacy acts […]

WWE has a thing for odd-couple tag teams. From Kane and Daniel Bryan, to Steven Austin and Dude Love, and, most relevant to this story, Owen Hart and Yokozuna, Vince McMahon might not have been the biggest fan of tag teams unless they were thrown together for you-know-whats and giggles. While these teams had varying […]

After a summer full of strife, ill feelings, and more than a few incredibly personal digs, Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle will finally duke it out on the most appropriate stage yet, in a Fight Pit match at WWE Extreme Rules. Soon, the time for talking will be over, the time for action will be […]

After Paul “Triple H” Levesque introduced the first of two clues in the White Rabbit mystery into the WWE Universe, the audience watching SmackDown both in the arena and from the comforts of their home were treated to the arrival of The Bloodline, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman, and Sami Zayn for […]

“Hey, I see right through you. You’ve got everybody and their momma out here fooled including my family but I see right through you, Sami Zayn. This your warning shot. If you even think about putting the family in jeopardy, I will get you.” – These words, spoken by Jey Uso on WWE SmackDown, highlighted […]

Drew McIntyre is WWE’s workhorse. Though he hasn’t held a title since February of 2021, when he was brutally beaten down by Bobby Lashley before The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, McIntyre has remained a steady contributor to WWE’s weekly television, “Premium Live Event,” and even house show circuit, having wrestled […]

To call Seth Rollins a stalwart of the WWE roster would be an understatement; initially signed to the company in 2010, Rollins has done just about everything a WWE superstar could hope to, from being part of a Hall of Fame-worthy faction, to winning enough championships to qualify for Grand Slam status, and even finding […]

Sami Zayn is WWE’s official The Honorary Uce, and he doesn’t care who hears it. That’s right, after working with The Bloodline in an unofficial capacity for months, Roman Reigns finally addressed Zayn’s status head-on, with a tense segment featuring Jey Uso tearing off the “Underdog From The Underground’s” Bloodline shirt only to be handed […]

For weeks, Sami Zayn has been the WWE’s Honorary Uce, but that title, ironically enough, has been an honorary one. That’s right, though Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and even “The Wiseman” Paul Heyman have acknowledged Zayn’s stop as a reliable ally to The Bloodline, Roman Reigns has never actually acknowledged the […]

In an announcement that few saw coming but everyone unconsciously needed, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has made a change to Survivor Series, the WWE “Premium Live Event” that features bouts between Superstars on RAW and SmackDown. After years of steadily losing its luster following the increased frequency by which stars cross promotions to compete in […]

In case you haven’t heard, Roman Reigns is officially set to wrestle Logan Paul at WWE’s Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia in November. Paul “Triple H” Levesque and company threw a boxing-style press conference in Las Vegas to set the stage for the “spectacle,” the entire Bloodline, from The Usos, to Paul Heyman, to Solo […]

Logan Paul is set to fight Roman Reigns in a WWE bout on November 5th. Paul’s ascension through the WWE world has been swift. But Reigns is one of the best fighters in the sport. Jake Paul shared his honest thoughts on Logan receiving the opportunity to fight Reigns. “Logan is the definition of anything […]
