Ever since debuting as a part of The Shield in 2012, Roman Reigns has been one of the major Superstars in WWE. His push took a whole new level after the Shield dismantled and Roman came forward as a singles star.

In his seven-year journey on the main roster, Reigns has already done enough to secure a future Hall of Fame induction. Being a four-time World Champion, Grand Slam Champion, Royal Rumble winner, and main-eventing four consecutive WrestleManias - many have touted him to be the new John Cena.

As was the case with Cena, the Big Dog also is rarely seen taking pinfalls in the ring. Even though the last year has seen him come down from the Superhero mode, pinning him is still considered to be a major achievement and not everyone gets to do that.

At Clash of Champions 2019, Rowan did the unexpected and kept Reigns down for the 3-count, though with some help of an old friend. While most of us remember Superstars like Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar etc pinning Reigns, there have been other wrestlers who have achieved this feat who you might not remember achieved the feat.

Without further adieu, let's take a look at five such Superstars in this list. How many of them do you remember pinning Reigns? Let us know in the comments section below.


#5 Cody Rhodes

Before becoming Stardust, Cody Rhodes had a major feud with The Shield back in 2013 alongside his real-life brother Goldust. The Rhodes Brothers took on Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a Tag Team Championship match, that ended with Cody pinning the powerhouse of the Shield.

This happened after The Big Show knocked Reigns out with a KO punch, without the referee's knowledge. Interestingly, The Shield were the heel at that time, and Cody and Goldust the faces.

It can be debated how successful his career was in WWE, but currently, he is spearheading the new promotion All Elite Wrestling - with many considering it a threat to Vince's company.

#4 Big Show

Roman Reigns was a constant nemesis of the World's Largest Athlete in his early days. When Reigns was a heel as part of The Shield, Big Show feuded with him as a face. Later on, when Reigns became a singles star and a babyface, Big Show was a part of the Authority taking him on.

During an episode of RAW in February 2015, the two went one-on-one with the giant picking up the victory after some distraction from J&J Security and the then Money in the Bank holder, Seth Rollins.

Ever since his call-up to the main roster, Samoa Joe has had multiple feuds with the Big Dog on RAW - with the latest one taking place a few months ago. Many fans have shown their displeasure over the way WWE has booked the Samoan Submission Machine.

But what many of us might not remember is that Joe has secured a pinfall over Reigns in a singles match. During a RAW episode in February 2017, the then-newly debuted Joe kept him down on the mat for the 1-2-3 after some distraction from Braun Strowman.

WHAT? Dash Wilder of The Revival has pinned Roman Reigns? As shocking as it might be for many of you, this exactly is what happened on an episode of RAW in June 2018.

This was a tag-team match with The Revival taking on Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley, who were feuding at that time. In the typical dysfunctional manner, Reigns, and Lashley got into an argument in the middle of the match.

The Big Dog then went on to deliver a spear to Scott Dawson, but the legal man Dash Wilder sneaked from behind and rolled up Reigns to get a victory for his team. No doubt, this was the biggest pinfall victory for one half of the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

Before the Samoan cousins joined forces, collectively known as The Bloodline, The Usos were the part of the Superstars mad with The Shield taking out everyone on the roster.

This led to an 11-on-3 elimination match between The Shield and the roster on an episode of RAW in September of 2013. The Usos were also a part of these 11 Superstars, and one of them - Jey Uso - ended up pinning Roman Reigns after he withstood a lot of punishment.

While the cousins are on the same page these days, Jey can always brag about this one time he had the Big Dog down on the mat for a 3-count.
