Roman Reigns’ loss to Big Show on Monday Night Raw this week was the first time in his WWE career that the soon-to-be WrestleMania main-eventer was pinned in singles competition.
Reigns has had multiple encounters over the past two years with Rusev that ended in a draw or disqualification, a “forfeit” loss to Seth Rollins when he did not compete at Night of Champions and more draws with Batista, Randy Orton, Kane and Daniel Bryan. Prior to Monday night, his last pinfall loss in a one-on-one match was in 2012, when Reigns lost to Leo Kruger (now Adam Rose) in FCW.
