5 WWE SmackDown Superstars Roman Reigns has never faced one-on-one

#4. WWE Superstar Mace

Mace signed with WWE in August 2016 after participating in a tryout earlier that year. The 30-year-old then made his main roster debut in September 2020 as a member of Retribution.

After Retribution disbanded a few months later, Mace formed another tag team with his former Retribution teammate, T-Bar. They shared the ring with several top superstars, including John Cena, Sheamus, and AJ Styles.

Mace and T-Bar's tag team recently split in the 2021 WWE Draft. As T-Bar remained on RAW, Mace moved to SmackDown. He is currently one of the few wrestlers on the Blue Brand who have never shared a ring with Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

Mace recently had an opportunity to earn a shot at The Tribal Chief's Universal Title. The former member of Retribution participated in the Black Friday Invitational Battle Royal on the Nov 26 episode. Nonetheless, he came up short as Sami Zayn walked out the winner.

Standing at 6 ft 6in, Mace is one of the most intimidating superstars on the SmackDown roster today. Hence, it would be interesting to see The Head of the Table go head-to-head with the former professional footballer.
