There have been only two men in wrestling history to defeat The Undertaker. Roman Reigns is one of those men (Brock Lesnar is the other). Such an impressive feat would easily top most wrestler's Top 5 Lists; but, despite a moment rich in tradition in history, Reigns has already had such a memorable career, that the moment is only his third most memorable.

After The Undertaker lost to Brock Lesnar in shocking fashion at WrestleMania 30, the WWE came under heavy criticism. Fans were unhappy that Brock Lesnar went over and believed that if The Undertaker ever did have to lose a WrestleMania match, it should be against a young Superstar with more to gain. Enter Roman Reigns.

Reigns had been increasingly calling the WWE his yard and The Undertaker, long entrenched as the WWE's locker room leader, wasn't taking kindly to any of it. The two would clash at the 2017 Royal Rumble and after The Undertaker was eliminated by Reigns, Reigns would shout, 'This is my yard,' as The Phenom stared him down. The Undertaker wouldn't forget the slight and the two would engage in a brawl on RAW, leading to a No Holds Barred Match at WrestleMania 33.

After surviving The Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver, Reigns hit The Dead Man with several Super Man Punches and spears to attain the pinfall victory and once again make wrestling history.

The next night on RAW, Reigns entered the ring to a chorus of boos and Undertaker chants. He said simply and succinctly,

'This is my yard now,'

Reigns then dropped the microphone and went home, as WWE's newest conqueror.
