Roman Reigns is currently at the top on SmackDown after winning the Universal title from The Fiend at WWE Payback. Reigns' heel turn has been a breath of fresh air for the WWE Universe so far, and fans are excited to see how it plays out in the upcoming months.
Roman Reigns has been a part of the WWE roster for around eight years. He came in as a part of The Shield, and was elevated to main event status following the stable's implosion in mid-2014. Reigns has been pushed to the moon over the past few years, and he has registered victories against some of the biggest names in WWE today.
In this list, we will take a look at 3 WWE Superstars Roman Reigns is undefeated against, and 2 he has never beaten.
(Note: The following list only considers singles competition, and not Tag Team, Triple Threat, or any other kinds of bouts)

#5 Roman Reigns is undefeated against Randy Orton (20-0)
Randy Orton and Roman Reigns have faced each other dozens of times in the squared circle. Their most notable encounter came at SummerSlam 2014, which saw Roman Reigns pick up a huge victory over The Viper. The buildup to this match began when Seth Rollins turned on The Shield and attacked both Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Orton joined in as well, and this led to Roman Reigns targeting him.
On the road to SummerSlam, Roman Reigns and Randy Orton faced each other multiple times, and Reigns came out the victor on every single occasion. These two megastars had three matches which ended in draw, but Orton couldn't manage to put The Big Dog down.
Currently, both Orton and Reigns are heels, and thus we won't be seeing these two Superstars face each other anytime soon. Orton is regarded as one of the biggest Superstars to ever grace the squared circle. He has beaten them all, and has held various titles over the course of the past two decades. He has accomplished a lot in his career, but beating Reigns in singles competition isn't on that list.
#4 Roman Reigns has never beaten Bubba Ray Dudley (0-1)
WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley returned to the promotion along with D-Von Dudley in 2015. The duo attacked The New Day and thus kicked off another WWE run in WWE. In early 2016, The Dudley Boyz took on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns in a Tag Team match, and lost via DQ.
In March, Bubba took on Roman Reigns in a singles match on the blue brand. The result wasn't any different this time around as well, and the match ended in a DQ. The difference though, was that Bubba was the winner. Bubba's stint in WWE ended soon after, and The Dudley Boyz were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018.
In WWE, Bubba was never elevated to main event status, and was mostly a mid-card Tag Team Superstar. He has a lot to be proud about, and not losing to one of the biggest Superstars in the industry is certainly somewhere on that list.
#3 Roman Reigns is undefeated against Triple H (2-0)
Triple H and Roman Reigns crossed paths when The Shield turned face in 2014 and The Game had to reform Evolution to take down The Hounds of Justice. It goes without saying that Evolution is one of the greatest factions in the history of WWE, but the trio failed gloriously against Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins.
The Shield beat Evolution on two occasions, but Rollins later joined hands with Triple H. Reigns went his own way and was pushed to the moon over the next few years.
Roman Reigns' push included a big win against Triple H in the main event of WrestleMania 32. Triple H had won the Royal Rumble match a few months earlier and had bagged the WWE title as per the stipulation. Reigns left WrestleMania with his head held high, and didn't face Triple H for more than a year. In late 2017, Reigns took on Triple H at a WWE live event.
This time around as well, The Big Dog defeated The Game, retaining his Intercontinental title in the process.
#2 Roman Reigns has never beaten Shane McMahon (0-1)
On the road to WrestleMania 35, Shane McMahon turned heel on The Miz and kicked off a run as a villain that many fans weren't thrilled with. The primary issue with this run was that Shane was getting big wins against WWE's top Superstars. Shane defeated The Miz at WrestleMania, and scored another win in a Steel Cage match at Money In The Bank. When Roman Reigns arrived on WWE SmackDown and attacked Vince McMahon, Shane decided to exact revenge on The Big Dog.
The rivalry led to a singles match at WWE Super ShowDown 2019, in Saudi Arabia. The match ended with Drew McIntyre hitting a thunderous Claymore on Roman Reigns while the official was down, thus giving Shane McMahon a huge win over Reigns.
This rivalry finally came to an end at WWE Extreme Rules, where The Undertaker and Roman Reigns teamed up to defeat McIntyre and Shane McMahon. Thus, Reigns didn't succeed in defeating Shane in a singles match, and the latter went on to target Kevin Owens on the blue brand.
#1 Roman Reigns is undefeated against Drew McIntyre (3-0)
Last year, Roman Reigns returned to WWE on the road to WrestleMania 35. Reigns reformed The Shield with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, and the trio immediately began feuding with King Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre. This led to a 6-Man Tag Team match at WWE Fastlane.
The Shield won the match, but McIntyre wasn't done with Roman Reigns. He targeted The Big Dog as WrestleMania loomed closer, and put down Rollins and Ambrose in his quest to destroy Reigns.
Finally, the two behemoths met on The Grandest Stage Of Them All. This was Reigns' first singles match following his return, and he didn't disappoint. Reigns picked up a win over McIntyre on that night. Around a month later, Reigns and McIntyre faced off again, this time on RAW. Roman Reigns was the victor again, though he won via DQ.
Their third outing at WWE Stomping Grounds ended with Reigns putting down McIntyre again. McIntyre would get his chance to shine in a few months, and he did it in style. He eliminated Reigns last to win the 2020 Royal Rumble match, and went on to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the WWE title.
