However, Reigns fought through, but had one major roadblock in his way – The Authority. The Authority, headed by Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Vince McMahon, was a notorious faction that played favouritism with their wrestlers.

Roman Reigns wasn’t too keen on being a puppet and went head to head against the Authority. And in one such case, the ‘Big Dog’ even got his hands on the WWE Chairman!
