Roman Reigns is on the run of his career as the Tribal Chief, Head of the Table character and current WWE Universal Champion. It's been so good that WWE is running out of challengers for their SmackDown champion.
It gets even harder when you consider that Roman Reigns has been in WWE for quite some time now and so has surely wrestled against everyone at one time or the other, right?
Wrong! There are still a few fresh match-ups left for Roman Reigns yet, as there are a handful of current WWE Superstars that he has either never faced, or at least hasn't faced in singles action.
We'll be seeing one of the names on this list crossed off at Money in the Bank as Roman Reigns is set to take on Edge in singles action for the Universal Title at the show, in the singles match we should've gotten, but didn't, at WrestleMania.
Let's take a look at 5 more Superstars that 'The Tribal Chief' Roman Reigns has never faced one-on-one.
#5. WWE SmackDown Superstar Jimmy Uso
We wouldn't be here today talking about how good Roman Reigns' run as Tribal Chief would be without the beginning of the feud which involved Roman Reigns trying to prove to Jey Uso that he deserved to be The Head of the Table for their family.
But whilst Reigns faced Jey Uso a few times in singles action during the early stages of this run, including a grueling Hell in a Cell I Quit match, he has never faced the other half of The Usos, Jimmy Uso in a singles match.
It looked like we would be getting that match for a while with Jimmy Uso throwing in the towel for Jey at the aforementioned Hell in a Cell match, and then refusing to acknowledge Reigns as Tribal Chief. However, Jimmy ended up replacing Jey as Reigns' right-hand man.
We may still end up with a Roman Reigns vs Jimmy Uso singles match at some point down the line, but it hasn't happened yet.
#4. WWE SmackDown Superstar Big E
Big E and Roman Reigns have been in WWE for a long time and have even risen up the ranks together, going from Florida Championship Wrestling to Friday Night SmackDown.
They've certainly clashed several times throughout that period, predominantly in tag team matches. But perhaps unbelievably in the eleven years since they first set foot inside a ring together, until now, they've never met one-on-one.
Reigns has paired up with former Shield member Dean Ambrose to take on Big E and one of the other New Day members, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. They've also been in the odd Fatal Fourway and Triple Threat matches together, but never in singles action against each other.
This is a match that could happen though, as there's a groundswell of support for Big E's singles push, with many believing that he should be the one to dethrone the Tribal Chief.
#3. WWE RAW Superstar Kofi Kingston
We go from one New Day member to another as Kofi Kingston has incredibly never gone one-on-one with Roman Reigns despite both Superstars being in WWE for over a decade.
Like Big E, Roman Reigns has certainly set foot inside the ring with Kofi Kingston on numerous occasions, but usually with each man having a partner of their own for tag team bouts.
When you consider WWE usually has a penchant for putting feuding tag teams against each other in singles matches, it's really quite bizarre how they've never managed to do Kingston vs. Reigns one-on-one.
With Kofi Kingston now in the WWE Title picture on Monday Night RAW and Roman Reigns holding the Universal Title on SmackDown, there's a small chance that Kingston will beat Bobby Lashley to become champion and we end up with the Kingston vs Reigns, 'Champion vs Champion' match at Survivor Series.
#2. WWE RAW Superstar R-Truth
R-Truth is an absolute wrestling veteran and has been with WWE since 2008. During that time he's wrestled against almost everybody walking through the doors of the company, but one man that he has never faced in singles action is The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.
The pair have also only shared a ring together a total of ten times since they've both been with WWE. There have been three Royal Rumbles, three Battle Royales, one six-man tag team match, a handicap tag elimination and two normal tag team matches.
When you add to this the fact that R-Truth is a multi-multi-multi WWE 24/7 Champion and that not once did Roman Reigns even consider just quickly pinning him to win the title, you start to think the two might never face each other in singles action.
Currently there's absolutely no reason for R-Truth and Reigns to fight in WWE, but I'm sure there could be a whole host of creative ways to have the brooding and serious Head of the Table Reigns take on the silly and funny R-Truth.
#1. WWE RAW Superstar Riddle
This one is probably a little more expected than the others given that Riddle is relatively new to WWE in comparison to Roman Reigns and they've been somewhat separated by the brand split between RAW and SmackDown.
The two have only set foot inside the same ring twice. It took place once during the 30-man Royal Rumble match in 2020 and once during the Survivor Series match in 2019 that featured men's teams from RAW, SmackDown and NXT.
However, given that Riddle has spoken several times about wrestling Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, is currently teaming up with Randy Orton and is a former United States Champion, it seems like it's only a matter of time before the two men clash.
This seems even more likely when you consider that Riddle has been the most consistent and perhaps even the best wrestler on Monday Night RAW for the last few weeks now, proving he's certainly deserving of a world title match opportunity.
