Roman Reigns went absolutely ballistic while attacking Vince McMahon on this past episode of Smackdown Live. He is the face of the WWE brand who has the audacity to punch right into the face of the authority, unlike the other superstars who may think twice to do so. With that being said, there are quite examples of The Big Dog pouncing on the McMahon family members in his 5-year career span.
When will Reigns be back in the title picture?
Here, we will take a look back at the instances when McMahon family members fell victim to Roman Reigns. Obviously, the four-time world champion was provoked enough to act like that. Triple H comes first in this list who has a long history with him ever since The Shield debuted back in 2012. He was friend-turned-foe in this context to put over the young talent.
Starting in 2014, The Shield went toe to toe with one of the dominant faction Evolution reuniting for one last time. But the rivalry did not get that much personal until Triple H helped Sheamus to cash-in Money in the Bank briefcase at Survivor Series 2015. On that night, Reigns delivered a huge spear on the COO of the company which marked the beginning of the bad blood between them.
A month later, Roman Reigns unleashed on Triple H at TLC PPV when he stacked the odds against the former WWE Champion. It was the night that The Game suffered a nasty beating but came back at Royal Rumble to snatch the WWE title from the Big Dog, again. The feud continued with several beatdowns on Triple H until a match culminated at Wrestlemania 32.
It was the night where Roman Reigns featured in the main event of Wrestlemania against Triple H to injure Stephanie McMahon! The title match earned huge boos from the crowd since they knew the outcome. But one spot is memorable when the contender delivered a huge spear on Triple H’s wife cutting her in two halves. This put a significant end to the feud between The Authority and Roman Reigns in 2016.
But speaking of authority, we should not forget about Vince McMahon putting his nose into Roman Reigns’ business and taking some punches. It happened multiple times during 2015-16 where Stephanie McMahon got hurt too. On one episode of Smackdown, Reigns had to thwart away the hired goons by the McMahons.
With the poster boy being back on Smackdown, we can certainly expect to see the scene getting reincarnated. McMahon is likely to put more barriers against him in due course.
