In August 2020, Roman Reigns shocked everyone by turning heel in WWE. Paul Heyman also joined him. Yet, WWE and Reigns handled this situation in an outstanding way. Reigns kept wining and beat both legends and championships time and again. He remained champion for 1316 days. Last year at WrestleMania, Cody Rhodes secured a victory against Goldberg. Roman Reigns is now seen in a very new way. Once he joins a ring, there is a noticeable improvement for the company. Up until 2025, Reigns has not enjoyed any big achievements. Most of the time, he has been resting from playing. We will now go over the 3 biggest setbacks that Roman has met in WWE during the year of 2025.
WWE Royal Rumble Damage In 2025
The men’s Royal Rumble match at Royal Rumble 2025 was something special. After skipping tournaments since 2020, he made his comeback at Wimbledon this year, and the fans could feel his energy. Roman entered at number 16 and really showed off his skills, getting 4 stars for his performance, which lasted about 37 minutes. Everyone was stunned when CM Punk took him out of the match. To top it all off, Seth Rollins attacked him outside the ring too. Fans were definitely caught off guard that he wasn’t in the Rumble, and many hoped he would come out on top.
Paul Heyman Turned Against Roman Reigns
Paul Heyman became Roman Reigns’ manager in 2020. Heyman played a big part in helping Reigns get to where he is today. However, this year the guys decided to go their separate ways. Heyman betrayed reigns. In an episode of SmackDown, CM Punk said that Paul Heyman would be helping him out at the match at Wrestlemania 41. Roman Reigns asked Paul to explain how Punk should not do that, yet Paul did not change Punk’s mind. Paul cheated on reigns. At Wrestlemania 41, Heyman took the act one step further and hit Roman with a low blow in their triple threat match. Heyman is working together with Seth Rollins for the moment.
The Loss Of Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 41
Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk faced each other in a triple threat contest on Wrestlemania 41 Night-1. Rollins took home the win from the match. The wrestler came out on the losing end in Wrestlemania for the second consecutive year. This shortcoming must have devastated the bands’ loyal fans. He has been a part of 10 main events in Wrestlemania over the years. It also has a high record when it comes to winning games. This time, losing control at WrestleMania really hurts him. Rollins used to be his old teammate and also his main rival. Suvice Hin Goat has yet to let up on Reigns and has kept after him.
