10 Things You Didn't Know About Roman Reigns
1. Money In The Bank Marked His First Clean Singles Loss In WWE
Last Sunday at Money in the Bank, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins had their first PPV singles match - and Rollins won. Despite all of the talk about how Rollins was the real champion since he never lost and that Reigns would need to win to legitimize his own title reign, it was "The Architect" who scored the surprise win and the title, even if he did immediately lose it to Dean Ambrose.
What's most interesting is that the match - which saw Rollins pin Reigns after a second Pedigree - marked Reigns's first clean singles loss on the main roster. There was a bit of an out in the fact that Reigns suffered an "injury" with a mistimed Spear into the guardrail, but it was all fair in the context of the match and there was nothing affecting the finishing spot.
Of course, it's since been reported that WWE knew about Reigns's test failure prior to Money in the Bank, making his loss a bit more understandable. Still, a nearly four-year-long record went out the window on Sunday, giving Rollins a unique accomplishment and putting Reigns in a brand-new situation.
