#4 Roman Reigns vs Big Show - Extreme Rules 2015

2015 was the year where the WWE Universe began to sour on Roman Reigns. The Big Dog won the Royal Rumble and stormed onto WrestleMania to challenge Brock Lesnar, much to the chagrin of those hoping the returning Daniel Bryan would win the match.

In the years that followed, the WWE Universe showed their disdain for Roman Reigns by booing him out of the building and often missed many of his best matches. In fact, Reigns has been putting on bangers since his debut on the main roster, and fans were just too blinded by unnecessary hate to notice.

Case in point: Extreme Rules 2015. When we learned Roman Reigns would be battling The Big Show in a Last Man Standing Match, nobody expected much. Show was in the twilight of his career at this point, and many still considered Reigns "overrated."

These two tore the house down in a Last Man Standing Match that's often forgotten about, and that's a shame. Roman Reigns and The Big Show threw everything they had at one another in a seemingly never-ending contest.

At one point, Reigns was driven through two tables on the floor with a hellacious chokeslam from inside the ring. He'd later retaliate with a spear to Show through the barricade.

Neither one of those moments was enough to put either man down. It was only when Show had Roman Reigns set up for a chokeslam through the announcer's desk that The Big Dog managed to finally slay the giant. After escaping Big Show's grasp, Reigns speared him into the table.

The Big Show was going to break the count, and that forced Reigns to bury him under the other announce table. With that, Reigns finally kept the legendary behemoth down for the ten-count. This one is a forgotten classic that WWE fans need to relive.
