Shane McMahon mentioned tonight on the RAW before WWE Super ShowDown that he'll make Roman Reigns tap out this Friday for the first time in his career. Yes, it indeed is true that The Big Dog is yet to face a tap-out defeat in his career.
The act of tapping out or submitting is considered to be a more humiliating defeat than the one via a pinfall as tapping out is "quitting" against your opponent's strength. In the kayfabe world of WWE, there have been instances of even top stars being submitted. The likes of Triple H, John Cena, and even the Beast Brock Lesnar have all lost matches in WWE by tapping out.
But then there are some superstars who avoided this shame and have never tapped out inside a WWE ring. In this article, let's take a look at the 4 Current WWE Superstars who have never tapped out in WWE.
Please Note: This article only talks about their career in WWE, hence them tapping out in some other promotion does not count
# Hon'able Mentions: AJ Styles and The Undertaker
The Phenomenal One, AJ Styles and The Dead Man, The Undertaker have both never lost a match in WWE via submission. It is indeed tough to imagine a superstar of their calibre tapping out to any opponent. But in reality, these superstars have actually tapped out but didn't lose the match due to different reasons.
AJ Styles tapped out to Samoa Joe during their WWE Championship match at Hell in a Cell 2018, but the referee did not see that as he was counting a pin at the same time. Styles managed to win that match later on. Styles also once tapped out to both Cena and Ambrose in a double submission, but the match was restarted due to the confusion of the winner.
The Undertaker, on the other hand, has also been involved in a similarly confusing situation when he pinned Kurt Angle while tapping out to him at the same time in a match on SmackDown.
The Dead Man also famously tapped out to the Beast Brock Lesnar during their encounter at SummerSlam 2015. In this case, the referee didn't notice it but the timekeeper saw it and rang the bell that led to a whole lot of confusion before the referee announced to restart the match.
#4 Braun Strowman
The Monster Among Men has seen some horrible booking in the past couple of years as he has gone from a top title contender to a random somebody with no proper direction on RAW. But even after all this, Braun Strowman has never tapped out to his opponent inside a WWE ring.
It's actually tough to imagine anyone overpowering and forcing Strowman to tap out, and it's safe to assume that he is not tapping out anytime soon. It's best for the character and reputation of the Monster Among Men that he is not made to submit in a match.
#3 Goldberg
Goldberg is a superstar whom you can hardly remember even losing a match, but if you don't remember the sight of him tapping out inside a WWE ring, don't worry there's nothing wrong with your memory because that has never happened.
His only singles loss in WWE came at WrestleMania 33 when the Beast, Brock Lesnar pinned him to win the Universal Championship. He has been eliminated from The Royal Rumble a couple of times as well but no superstar has ever come close to making The Myth submit.
#2 Samoa Joe
While Samoa Joe's WWE career hasn't been as good as that of AJ Styles, the Samoan Submission Machine has been booked strong enough that he has never tapped out to anyone inside a WWE ring.
Joe himself is known as a submission specialist and has won most of his matches in the company via his dangerous submission move, Coquina Clutch. He has made superstars like Finn Balor and Seth Rollins pass out to his deadly choke and even came close to submitting the Beast, Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire in 2017. Who do you think has the capability to make him tap out?
#1 Roman Reigns
Topping this list is, no surprise, The Big Dog Roman Reigns. Being considered the new face of the company and the Superman after John Cena, Reigns has been booked as one of the strongest wrestlers in the company.
Letting someone tap the Big Dog out might probably never happen as that would make Reigns look ordinary and same as everyone else on the roster.
Who do you think will become the first one to tap out these superstars mentioned in this article? Let me know your views and thoughts in the comments section below.
