Last night marked another new milestone for Roman Reigns in the WWE. It was back on the same date that the top-most WWE Superstar of this generation last suffered a pinfall loss inside the squared circle on TV and since then 1095 days have passed by. It means that the dual world champion in the WWE hasn’t been pinned or submitted in a WWE ring for exactly three years now.
The reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion was last pinned in WWE at the TLC 2019 pay-per-view that took place on December 15th, 2019. On that night, Roman Reigns was pinned by Baron Corbin (known as King Corbin due to his 2019 King of the Ring win shtick) on that night in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match in one of the co-main-events of the night.

That rare pinfall loss came for Roman Reigns when he was still a babyface figure under The Big Dog shtick. However, this wasn’t a clean pinfall loss for the former champion, as security guards, Dolph Ziggler and The Revival – Dash, and Dawson (AEW tag team FTR) interfered and helped Corbin to put down their adversary. Moving on, Corbin suffered a loss to the prime figure of WWE at the Royal Rumble.

Roman Reigns is expected to wrestle two matches at WrestleMania 39
As of this writing, Roman Reigns has been the top champion in WWE for 837 days and he has featured in two WrestleMania main events since that pinfall loss. It’s also confirmed that a third one is approaching him which could eventually turn out to be the biggest match of his career against his own cousin from the Samoan Dynasty.
As it’s been reported in recent times that there are rumors going on about Roman Reigns possibly wrestling in two matches at WrestleMania 39 (aka WrestleMania Hollywood) over the WWE and Universal Championships. According to the previous reports from Wrestling Observer, WWE wants to split the two World Titles and have 2 separate champions again following the Show of Shows.

The reported working idea is that Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania 39 opponents are going to be Cody Rhodes (Night One) and The Rock (Night Two). Expectedly, Rock vs. Reigns is likely to go down in the main event of Night Two of WrestleMania 39 to close out the show from Hollywood. However, The Observer also added that nothing is definite until mid-January when plans around the Biggest Event of the Year will be finalized.
