When Seth Rollins goes one-on-one with a former Shield member it always seems to be Dean Ambrose. That trend was deviated from on this week's Smackdown when the WWE World Heavyweight Champion squared off against Roman Reigns. Non-title, of course.

The main event of WWE's Thusday night show tried to tease the idea that Roman wouldn't show up for the fight but as Rollins and J & J Security were midway through a 10 count to rule him disqualified, Roman arrived.

Their bout only went a little under six minutes. The short match time held this one back from placing too high on this list. There was also the expected interference from Joey Mercury which lead to Ambrose coming out post-match to aid his friend in the assault. 

Yes, this was short. But the two have good chemistry. Seth can match the power moves with the bigger Roman and also sells to make him seem like the strong man that he is. It'll be nice to see these guys one day go 15 minutes or beyond in a Pay-Per-View setting.
