5 WWE legends who failed to beat Roman Reigns in singles matches

#2 John Cena

John Cena and Roman Reigns

Next up is the ‘Face That Runs The Place’ himself – John Cena. Cena has won almost everything there is to win in WWE and has equalled Ric Flair’s legendary 16 world title wins. He has beaten almost every opponent he’s faced in WWE at least once but one man he has been unable to vanquish in a singles match is Roman Reigns – the man reportedly earmarked by Cena to be his successor as the face of WWE.

Reigns and Cena have faced each other in singles action thrice – only one of which was a televised match coming at No Mercy 2017. Despite the build being slightly lackluster, the match itself didn’t disappoint as the two stalwarts of the WWE put it all on the line. Reigns kicked out of a double Attitude Adjustment on his way to beating Cena after hitting the 16-time world champion with the Spear.

Roman Reigns and John Cena have also faced each other on two other occasions – both non televised, one of which came at WWE’s MSG Show at the end of 2017 and the second coming at WWE’s Road to WrestleMania Live Event in Chicago in March 2018. Reigns won both the matches.
