Roman Reigns is currently enjoying the title reign of a lifetime. No other superstar in the last three decades has been a champion like this. The Tribal Chief won the Universal Championship at Payback 2020, beginning his indomitable reign, which continues to this date. Therefore, it is obvious that fans are wondering when was the last time Roman Reigns was defeated by another superstar in a WWE ring.

He defeated Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in a triple-threat match to capture the Universal Championship. During his nearly three-year reign, Roman Reigns defeated the likes of Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Edge, Daniel Bryan, and others. Many came close to defeating The Tribal Chief but all eventually failed. The only superstar to get a victory by disqualification over Reigns was his shield teammate, Seth Rollins.

However, before becoming The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns was defeated by none other than Baron Corbin. This occurred on a random SmackDown episode on November 8th, 2019. Reigns was distracted by Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode as Corbin hit End of Days to win the pinfall.

This was part of the ongoing feud between Corbin and Reigns. The feud also saw Roman team up with his cousins and The Usos, who later formed The Bloodline. It had a poor buildup and random storyline, which was a problem the Reigns faced for years before turning heel in 2020.

After the breakup of The Shield, the 37-year-old struggled to find a supportive fan base. He would have lackluster feuds with Triple H, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, and many others before establishing his dominance as the top star.

The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, reached 1000 days as the Universal Champion on May 26th, 2023. This was the first time a WWE Champion reached 1,000 days since the 1980s. The Head of the Table is receiving acclaim from all the wrestling fans around the world. However, that is not the only record he holds.

The 38-year-old has not been pinned for a victory since November 2019, which is over 1300 days. He has also been among the top merchandise sellers in the company for almost three years. WWE has made huge amounts of profit with partnership and sponsorship deals with Roman Reigns as the champion.

Roman reigns has also been in the main event of WrestleMania seven times. Additionally, Reigns has a very good win-loss percentage in the matches at Mania. Out of the 10 WrestleMania matches, the Tribal Chief has won eight of them. Without a doubt, he has been carving his path to the pinnacle of this industry.
