It's a weird way to open this entry, but what's your least favourite 'Mania moment for Reigns? WrestleMania 32's win over Triple H? That flubbed match with The Undertaker in Orlando at 33? How about his loss to Brock Lesnar at 34 or nondescript win over Drew McIntyre one year later at 35?

None of those match the forgettable nature of his first two shots on the biggest show of the year.

Roman teamed with his Shield buddies Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins for two uninspiring six-man tags at both WrestleMania 29 and XXX. The first, against Big Show, Randy Orton and Sheamus, was at least long enough to have its place on the card, but the second (against Kane and The New Age Outlaws) was pointless.

The fact that Reigns wrestled 'Attitude' relics Billy Gunn and Road Dogg in 2014 sounds like the answer to some obscure trivia question, but it happened. It also lasted less than three minutes, so y'know... hardly something people are going to hold dear.
