Roman Reigns, The Big Dog sure seems to be the favourite of the company. I have always mentioned how I have failed to understand Roman's booking in WWE.

He is tall, strong and has a great persona for a main-event headliner but his relentless push by the WWE has angered the whole WWE Universe. The very fact that there is a Wikipedia page dedicated to persona and reception of Roman Reigns speaks volume about the kind of push he has been receiving in WWE.

Reigns made his WWE debut not so far back in November 2012 and in his 7-year career, he has had more than a couple of astonishing achievements to his name that are going nowhere for years to come. That being said, he is the current Universal Champion and according to various reports, opinions and rumours, WWE is planning a lengthy run for Roman Reigns as the Universal Champion.

So without further ado, let's start with the 5 astonishing feats achieved by Roman Reigns in his 7-year career.


#1 Defeating The Undertaker

The Undertaker's streak could have gone undefeated but if WWE was planning to break the streak, why break it twice. Lesner was the first wrestler to defeat The Undertaker and it looked quite believable that The Beast had to be the man but pitting Roman Reigns against The Undertaker and making him defeat the dead man is a feat that no other wrestler might be able to achieve.

Taking into account, the wrestlers who have tried including Shawn Michaels, Triple H and John Cena in the very recent past, Roman Reign's emphatic win against The Undertaker is a feat that came way too early for The Big Dog or shouldn't have come at all. It's something that can't be undone and well, we will have to live believing that the only two men who defeated The Undertaker include Roman Reigns.

#2 One of the very few to beat Brock Lesner

Oh, the hue and cry over this never-ending saga of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesner. I will be really honest, I have always loved Daniel Bryan endlessly loosing against a big star and then finally defeating him to become the Champion.

But it just doesn't work with Roman Reigns in the picture. Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesner to become one of the very few to have conquered The Beast. The list includes legends like Triple H, John Cena, Big Show.

#3 Most Royal Rumble Eliminations

Roman Reigns wasn't a part of The Greatest Royal Rumble which happened in Dubai. Braun Strowman eliminated 13 wrestlers in a roster of 50 wrestlers who embarked the ring that night. Roman Reigns, on the other hand, has 12 eliminations in the roster of 30 wrestlers to his name in Royal Rumble. This accounts for nearly 40% wrestlers who competed in the Royal Rumble. The most by any wrestler in the history of Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View. Yes, take down the legend Kane with 6 years of WWE career.

#4 Survivor Series Eliminations record

Roman's remarkable feats just don't end at Royal Rumble. Two months prior to setting the Royal Rumble record, Reigns went on to set another record for most number of elimination in Survivor Series.

Reigns eliminated 4 out 5 wrestlers in the opponent's team to single-handedly bring victory to his team. It doesn't look like that this record is going to break anytime soon.

#5 Headlining last four WrestleMania (31, 32, 33, 34)

As we gear up for WrestleMania 35, possibly headlined by Roman Reigns again for a match against his brother Dwayne The Rock Johnson according to rumours, Shawn Michaels aka Mr WrestleMania must be wondering if he got his nickname right.

It is a fact that WWE will never push any wrestler this much. Roman Reigns has already headlined 4 WrestleManias. He just one headline away from John Cena's record. But he is not 41, Roman Reigns is just 33.

#6 Other achievements which is are very small for The Big Dog

The age of the wrestler plays a major role in the kind of bookings that happens around him. All the wrestlers with similar or vaguely similar feats as compared to Roman Reigns are way over their 40's. Roman Reigns is 33 years old and has some very remarkable achievements behind his name. I am listing out some other notable feats achieved by Roman Reigns which might not count as just 6 achievements in 6 years.

  • Final Three appearances in Royal Rumble for the last four years
  • He is 28th Triple Crown Champion in only 29 that have achieved it
  • Only the 17th Grand Slam Champion
  • Royal Rumble Winner
  • Four-time World Champion already
  • Winner of 7 Slammy Awards

The list will only get longer.
