Roman Reigns' 10 Best WWE Matches

10. Vs. Sheamus (TLC 2015)

TLC 2015 was sort of an anomaly. At the time, WWE couldn't have been any worse. Talented wrestlers were dropping like flies due to injury, the shows were becoming increasingly stale and grating, and most offensive of all, Sheamus was WWE Champion.

Yet miraculously, TLC 2015 managed to be a pretty good show, capped off by a whopper main event between Roman Reigns and Sheamus. Not that you would know it at first, of course; given the terrible build for this match, that included Roman cutting promos about Sheamus' "tater tots," the fans were having none of this brawl between Reigns and Sheamus. With chants from "We just saw this" to "We want Cena," it was difficult at first to see that the two men in the ring were having an excellent TLC match for the WWE Championship, featuring intense physicality and dazzling high spots.

Of course, the cherry on top was the post-match. Once again robbed of the WWE title thanks to interference from the League of Nations (remember them?), Roman went absolutely berserk, beating the p*ss out of the League members.

Triple H, the man who orchestrated Roman's misfortunes, came out and attempted to make peace, and Reigns laid him out as well for good measure, storyline hospitalizing The Game. From the first time in months, the crowd of hardcore fans cheered Reigns as he finally embraced the renegade bad boy person people had wanted out of him.

For a time at least, Roman was the most beloved member of the roster.
