Every Roman Reigns WWE Universal Title Defence Ranked In Order Of Greatness

31. Vs Daniel Bryan (Elimination Chamber 2021)

One of the best 96-second matches you could ever hope to watch was still just a 96-second match, and the two having three extremely high quality matches after this one made this more of an angle than a bona fide contest.

It being Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns, they located the drama anyway. A post-Elimination Chamber Bryan had one last counter in him and almost secured the win with a flash Yes Lock, but 'The Tribal Chief' was too fresh for it. Drilling him with forearms, he downed him in short order in a contest that showed far more of his cowardice than conviction.
