Last year placed: 9 Roman Reigns will have been in the show-closing main event for half of WWE's traditional specials in 2015, which tells you that he has arrived as a major star. On the majority of these occasions he was well up to his task. He won the Royal Rumble match, albeit amid controversy, but it is what happened next that really put him on the map. His match with Daniel Bryan at Fastlane was a potential match of the year, and he followed that up with another barnburner against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. He then (shockingly) got a superb match out of Big Show at Extreme Rules. A long feud with the Wyatt Family followed, resulting in a good Hell In A Cell match with Bray Wyatt. Finally, he won the WWE Title over Dean Ambrose at Survivor Series, after winning a very good semi final match over Alberto Del Rio earlier that night. He ended up losing the belt to Sheamus straight away, but the two will meet again at TLC. The Big Dog has not seen the last of that belt. Highlight of the year: Main eventing WrestleMania 31.
