10 Most Phenomenal WWE Title Reigns Of The PG Era
7. Roman Reigns (2016)
Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima...Damn right Roman Reigns deserves to be here.
The forced celebrations at WrestleMania 32 were a bit too much; seeing confetti fall from the skies as Reigns clutched the WWE Title he'd just won from Triple H amidst a mixture of fan apathy and boos was a sour end to the biggest show of the year. Those same people were later enthralled by Reigns' work.
Don't believe it? Fire up the Network, go back a few years to both Payback and Extreme Rules, then come back once you've watched his exhausting, pulsating and brilliant performances with AJ Styles at both pay-per-views in 2016. That added further proof to Roman's case that hey, he's actually a bloody good worker who, whilst forced as a babyface, doesn't deserve the hate he's had over the years.
At Money In The Bank, Reigns then successfully transitioned out of the AJ feud and into one with old Shield colleague Seth Rollins. There, he was willing to play second fiddle to a Dean Ambrose MITB cash-in that put the returning Rollins his place.
