Roman Reigns has been the best character in all of WWE and possibly the entire business since his return at Summerslam. His "Tribal Chief" character has provided consistent superb character work on promos, as well as in the ring. At WWE TLC 2020, he faced his fiercest competition yet in the form of Kevin Owens.

The former Universal Champion attacked "The Head of the Table" before the bell of this WWE TLC 2020 matchup and came out with a boatload of babyface fire.

His level of intensity brought so much to this battle, proving to be resilient throughout. The Prize Fighter proved his never say die attitude with this valiant effort. This had to be considered his most spectacular babyface performance of his time in WWE.

The interjection of Jey Uso gave Owens more insurmountable odds to overcome. Uso was relentless in his attempts to assist his cousin at every turn of this encounter.

Roman Reigns was absolutely fantastic in this one as well. From his facial expressions, body language, hard-hitting offense, and vulnerability in his selling, Reigns brought something that we have not seen in his heel character yet.

This made for a simply spellbinding WWE Universal Championship bout at WWE TLC 2020. It was a tremendous performance all-round from everyone involved, including Paul Heyman at ringside with his enticing facial expressions. This was the Match of the Night and delivered another top-notch contest.

Star rating: ****1/2
