Roman Reigns has been at the top of the wrestling ladder for several years now. However, over the past few years, he has become the most lucrative wrestling draw in the world of pro wrestling. Despite this, one criticism that has always been levied against Reigns is that he doesn’t defend his titles enough and is more or less absent from shows.
One comparison that has recently been drawn with regard to Roman Reigns is against CM Punk. The former WWE Champion was one of the most hardworking wrestlers at the time, defending his titles numerous times over his 434-day WWE Championship reign. Fans recently took to Twitter to comment on the same, stating that for the sheer number of defenses, he was a better champion than Roman Reigns. There has also been a view that Reigns’ title reign has been unnecessarily extended and that he should have lost at WrestleMania 39.
This was about the @WWE Championship. When he won it at WM 39 house shows resumed. Even if he defended 10 times at house shows. Doesn’t compare to 149. The Bloodline story is the best ever. Roman is amazing. Just wish he wrestled more. But Punks reign is one of the best ever in…

Roman Reigns recently surpassed 1000 days as the Universal Champion after winning it at Payback in 2020. He is also on course to surpass the iconic 434-day WWE Championship reign of CM Punk. He won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 38 from Brock Lesnar. He has since been known as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. He even received a new title from Triple H on the latest episode of SmackDown.
Roman Reigns ousted Jimmy Uso from The Bloodline
On the latest episode of SmackDown, WWE celebrated Roman Reigns completing 1000 days as the undisputed world champion. The Tribal Chief ordered Paul Heyman not to invite The Usos during the celebrations. However, Jimmy and Jey decided to show up and confront Reigns.
Jimmy, who had the majority of the conversation with Reigns, wanted to join hands with The Tribal Chief only if he treated them fairly. However, that did not turn out to be the case, as Roman Reigns refused to comply with their wishes. Jimmy was then laid out by Solo Sikoa with a Samoan Spike. It seems that Jimmy Uso has been ousted from The Bloodline by Roman Reigns.

However, as stated by him in the closing seconds of the show, he expects Jey Uso to fall in line. It remains to be seen how this saga will unfold. Also, what will become of The Usos in the coming weeks. With Money in the Bank coming up, there is a possibility that The Tribal Chief and Solo Sikoa will face The Usos in a high profile.
