Have Reigns and Mysterio crossed paths?

Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio have never faced each other in singles competition. However, they’ve crossed paths many times in multi-man matches, especially Survivor Series elimination matches and Royal Rumble’s. Mysterio even teamed up with the Usos to face the Shield in 2013.

In 2013, Rey Mysterio returned to WWE and aimed to rise to the top quickly. But WWE had three new animals in their roster in Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. At the 2013 Survivor Series PPV, Reigns and Mysterio met in the ultimate battle of their elimination match.

Mysterio had Reigns down and attempted a 619, but Reigns surprised him with a massive spear to get a career defining win. Reigns broke the record for most eliminations in a single elimination match with four. Mysterio also played his veteran role perfectly by putting the youngster over.
