It’s been a wild year for Roman Reigns in 2025.

In this article, we rank the seven Roman Reigns matches in 2025 from worst to best:

Spoiler on Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes - Check Here!

#7. Survivor Series: WarGames

It looks like the year ended on a sour note for the OTC at Survivor Series: WarGames. Despite the star power involved, many believe the Men’s WarGames Match fell flat. This is because it lacked the violence and substance fans expect from the annual double-caged gimmick bout.

While seeing the OTC brawl with a returning Brock Lesnar was a thrill, the match felt basic and ended unceremoniously with Bron Breakker pinning CM Punk, leaving many fans feeling underwhelmed.

#6. Clash in Paris

At Clash in Paris, Roman Reigns went toe-to-toe against Bronson Reed for the first time. Although the match was a bit slow, the enthusiastic French crowd kept it going.

Many believe that the highlight of the match was Reed reversing Reigns’ Spear into a Powerbomb and the OTC hitting a massive Samoan Drop from the top rope to remind everyone why he is the top dog of the company.

#5. Crown Jewel: Perth

Things took a turn in Western Australia, where The Auszilla eventually got his revenge against the OTC in an Australian Street Fight.

Bronson Reed scored the win of a lifetime after a stray Spear from Jey Uso accidentally leveled Roman Reigns. It was sloppy at times, but the intensity of the affair was undeniable.

#4. SummerSlam Night One

Roman Reigns and Jey Uso swept their past differences aside and worked together at SummerSlam 2025. They took on The Vision's powerhouse duo of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, in what many believe was a solid match.

Reigns played the unselfish veteran's role, eating a Spear from Breakker at the expense of Jey Uso, who finally sealed the pinfall win for his team. It wasn't a technical masterpiece, but the sight of the original Bloodline together again was a feel-good moment for the ages.

#3. Royal Rumble

Although the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match had its own level of excitement, fans believe that Roman Reigns was a central figure in the 30-man bout. This was notable during his brief moment with Seth Rollins and CM Punk.

While Jey Uso pulled off an unexpected win, many fans believe that the presence of the OTC made the event feel like a major, high-profile spectacle.

#2. RAW's Netflix Premiere

At Monday Night RAW's Netflix premiere, Roman Reigns finally regained the coveted Ula Fala back and also his moniker of the undisputed Tribal Chief. The Tribal Combat match against Solo Sikoa was a chaotic affair filled with chair shots, table spots and interferences.

Despite the shenanigans from a host of people, including Sikoa's Bloodline (Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga), The Usos (Jimmy and Jey), Sami Zayn, and even Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, Reigns ultimately secured a classic win that sent the Netflix audience home excited.

#1. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk at WrestleMania 41

Many fans believe that the highlight of Roman Reigns' year came on Night One of WrestleMania 41. In a rare non-title main event, Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk proved that pure storytelling is often better than any championship gold.

The match was an intense, gritty fight driven by real hostility. The shock of the night was Paul Heyman pulling the ultimate double-cross on both the OTC and The Second City Saint to align with Rollins. It was high-drama, high-intensity, and everything a WrestleMania headliner should be.
