1. WrestleMania 31 – World Heavyweight Championship Match

As the winner of the Royal Rumble, Roman faced WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31.

To start with, Braun Strowman was in a feud with Roman Reigns at the time and cost him the no. 1 contender’s match against Samoa Joe. Strowman again beat Reigns at the Great Balls of fire in an Ambulance Match. The same night, Lesnar retained the title against Joe. Reigns and Joe faced off for another no. 1 contender match Joe with the winner to face Lesnar at SummerSlam, only for Strowman to interfere in the match again. Finally, the SummerSlam match was booked with all four men.

4. WrestleMania 34 – WWE Universal Championship Match

Roman Reigns had main-evented WrestleMania for the last three years by that point, but he was no fan favourite. Although he did not win the Royal Rumble, but later won the Elimination Chamber match to become the no. 1 contender for the Universal Championship. Before the match, the news was paramount that this was Lesnar’s last WWE match and he would return to UFC. Due to this, many thought this was going to be the moment when Roman Reigns would finally become the face of the company.

The Beast Incarnate started this match just like he ended it at WrestleMania 4 weeks earlier. He hit 4 German Suplexes and two F5s before Reigns came with three continuous Superman Punches. As Reigns looked to leave the cage, Paul Heyman slammed the door on his face. More finishers and nearfalls followed and the finish came when Roman speared Lesnar to take both of them through the steel cage. However, as Lesnar’s back touched the floor first, he was given the win.
6. SummerSlam 2018 – WWE Universal Championship Match

To get another chance to take the title, Roman won the triple threat match against Finn Balor and Drew McIntyre and then defeated Lashley to become the no. 1 contender to face Lesnar again at SummerSlam. To add to the drama, Braun Strowman came out before the match and announced that he would cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase after the match.
Unlike their earlier matches, it was Reigns who started strongly with three Superman Punches and spears on Lesnar. In reply, Lesnar locked him with the guillotine choke a couple of times and both times Roman broke the lock with spinebusters. Lesnar sidestepped from another spear which resulted in Reigns taking out Strowman through the ropes at ringside. At this point, Lesnar destroyed Strowman with an F5 and then multiple shots from MITB briefcase and steel chairs. But as he went back in the ring, Reigns hit another spear to get his first singles win over Lesnar.
7. Crown Jewel 2021 – WWE Universal Championship Match

The scenario was completely changed by the time Lesnar and Roman’s rivalry restarted after 3 years. Roman was already one year into his Universal title reign when Brock returned to confront him at Summerslam. Later, Roman refused to face Lesnar, but agreed to it when Lesnar beat up The Usos. WWE announced the bout to take place at Crown Jewel.
Both men once again put everything into the match, but neither one of them was able to get the pin.

Lesnar then entered the Royal Rumble match and won it. He then chose to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38. Lesnar also entered the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match and won the WWE title back to turn their clash into a Champion vs Champion match.
The match was not that memorable and was just a run-of-a-mill affair, despite being the main event of WrestleMania. After interferences from The Usos, Roman was able to get the win by hitting a spear and become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
9. SummerSlam 2022 – Last Man Standing Match for Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

Brock went away from WWE after Roman defeated him at WrestleMania 38. However, he returned on SmackDown episode of June 17, 2022, and attacked Reigns.

Money in the Bank Briefcase holder Theory kept teasing throughout the build-up that he would cash in the briefcase during this match.
Lesnar brought a tractor to ringside for this match and jumped on Roman off the tractor as the bell rang. When both Lesnar and Roman were down, Theory tried to cash in the MITB briefcase.

Brock is going to crush Roman
Big time, I like Roman but Brock will crush him. Fight won’t be easy tho
Roman has to win. It wouldn’t make sense if Brock when cause what programs do you have for him. Might as well just give it to Roman and drop a belt to Drew. Or a debuting Cody lmaoooo.
Brock Lesnar is going to kick Roman reigns and Paul heymans ass.
Roman reigns has the acknowledgement of defeating brock lesnar for sure but opportunity came at once but roman will capture it for sure
When is the match coming off.
Roman ✌️to go with the title.
Roman all title winner brock bye for your title _-_RIP TITLE BROCK
Brock will beat Roman easily if he doesn’t cheat
This will be interesting to say the least. I predict Lesnar beating Reigns for the title seeing as Roman is taking time off for the rest of the summer.
My head tells me Roman wins at SS to go up 4-3 in their feud and hopefully end it. I do think their is an outside chance swerve (Rollins MITB Style) in which Theory comes out to cash in but then eats an F5 for his trouble. That way you could take a belt(s) off Roman while keeping him strong for The Rock next year and you still continue his never been personally beaten since… streak-thing that the WWE loves to talk about. After a month or two when they think fans have forgotten they won’t even put an asterisk beside it. But….none of that will happen most likely as it will be Roman clean over Lesnar. Sad face.
This is the last man standing which is in roman favours with his hyenas the usos so he will definitely win this match
