The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and in the case of Roman Reigns, he fell into the pits of despair on his Island of Relevancy. After failing to capture the tag titles at Night of Champions, everyone thought Reigns will be making up for it with a win in The Bloodline Civil War match. London could have been the place where he reclaimed his position at the top.

But it all came crumbling down courtesy of his own cousins, The Usos. But defeating him was one thing. Jey Uso broke Reigns’ streak that even former world champions like Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Seth Rollins couldn’t touch.
