Roman Reigns has become a household name of WWE over the years, ever since he made his main-roster debut in 2012. Initially a part of ‘The Shield’, Roman Reigns rose to stardom during 2014, with the nickname of ‘The Big Dog’, and accomplished his first WWE World Championship in November 2015.
Since then, the Samoan wrestler has never looked back and went onto become one of the greatest WWE Superstars this industry has ever seen. From headlining WWE 2K video games covers, to headlining Wrestlemania’s, Roman Reigns has done it all.
‘The Tribal Chief’ will create history at Wrestlemania 41 by headlining a record-breaking 10th Wrestlemania (first-time ever in WWE history).
Roman Reigns’ Wrestlemania record is currently 9-3.
Here’s a look at his performances over the years at Wrestlemania:
1. WrestleMania 29: Roman Reigns, alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, took on the team of Randy Orton, Sheamus, and The Big Show, as ‘The Shield’ were entering their maiden Wrestlemania. The end result, a routine win.
2. WrestleMania 30: The Shield continued their winning run by defeating Kane and The New Age Outlaws in a quick match. It took less than three minutes for The Shield to win against their opponents.
3. WrestleMania 31: Roman Reigns (winner of Royal Rumble 2015) was headlining his first-ever Wrestlemania, taking on then-WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. In what was a fiery match against the ‘Beast Incarnate’, then-Money In The Bank briefcase holder Seth Rollins stole the headlining by cashing-in his contract and ‘Curb Stomping’ Roman Reigns’ head into the mat to register a historic win.
4. WrestleMania 32: After refusing to be Triple H’s guy, Roman Reigns went through a series of torture from ‘The Auhtority’. ‘The Game’ Triple H won the Royal Rumble and won the World Title, only for Roman Reigns to beat him in the main-event and earn back his WWE Championship.
5. WrestleMania 33: Perhaps the passing of the torch. The Undertaker was defeated merely once at the ‘Grandest Stage Of Them All’ over 30 years. Roman Reigns and ‘The Phenom’ battled it out in an intense match, which ended with a Spear from Roman Reigns, as he stunned the WWE Universe by pinning The Undertaker.

8. WrestleMania 37: The rise of The Tribal Chief. Roman Reigns headlined his first Wrestlemania with Paul Heyman alongside him as ‘The Wise Man’, as the turn of the decade marked arguably the most dominant run by a WWE Superstar in the history of the industry. Roman Reigns pinned both, Daniel Bryan and Edge, at the same time to retain his title.
9. WrestleMania 38: Headlined as the ‘Greatest Match’ ever, the main-event was one of the biggest turning points of Roman Reigns’ career. Roman Reigns Vs Brock Lesnar III meant something else this time around. It was the unification of the belts (WWE Championship and WWE Universal Championship).
For the first time ever, Roman Reigns had Paul Heyman in his corner up against Brock Lesnar. The result, ‘The Needle Mover’ pinned ‘The Beast Incarnate’ to register a famous win.
10. WrestleMania 39: Roman Reigns took on Cody Rhodes in what was an epic encounter at Hollywood. ‘The American Nightmare’ fell prey to an attack from Solo Sikoa, who caught the challenger off the guard with a ‘Samoan Spike’, and Roman Reigns registered a memorable win.
11. WrestleMania 40 Night 1: Roman Reigns contested two times for the first time at Wrestlemania, as he headlined Night 1 alongside The Rock in a Stipulation Match. The Samoan duo won the match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, thereby, making the Night 2 main-event a ‘Bloodlines Rules’ match.
