Roman Reigns has made a long list of enemies throughout his illustrious WWE career. The veteran will be teaming up with Cody Rhodes to battle The Bloodline at Bad Blood this Saturday night. Rhodes used to be a bitter rival of Reigns, but the two stars have seemingly agreed to put their differences aside to battle The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa this Saturday at the premium live event.

Reigns returned to the promotion as a babyface at SummerSlam 2024. He attacked Solo Sikoa and cost him his opportunity to win the Undisputed WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes. However, there are more stars than just his former faction who evidently do not like the 39-year-old.

Listed below are five current WWE stars who hate Roman Reigns.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5. WWE SmackDown star Solo Sikoa despises Roman Reigns

Solo Sikoa named himself the new Tribal Chief during Roman Reigns' hiatus following WrestleMania XL. He booted Jimmy Uso out of the group for losing to Jey Uso at The Show of Shows and also ordered a brutal attack on Paul Heyman on the June 28 edition of SmackDown.

Sikoa has failed to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship and likely blames Roman Reigns for being unable to accomplish that goal. Sikoa has not enjoyed the same success as Reigns as a singles star and could resent his former stablemate for being so popular with the WWE Universe.

#4. Jacob Fatu is loyal to the new version of The Bloodline

Jacob Fatu currently serves as The Enforcer of The Bloodline, a role previously held by Solo Sikoa under Roman Reigns' leadership. Fatu attacked Reigns on the August 16 edition of SmackDown and the faction Powerbombed him through the announce table outside the ring.

Fatu is a former MLW Champion, and some fans believe he should be the leader of The Bloodline. The 32-year-old surely would like to prove himself in a rivalry against Reigns sometime down the line.

#3. CM Punk and Reigns have an interesting history

Roman Reigns and CM Punk are two of the biggest stars in the professional wrestling industry. However, they are reportedly not good friends behind the scenes. Reigns recently blasted The Second City Saint on The Pat McAfee Show, and Punk hinted that the two could cross paths down the line during his promo on the December 8, 2023, episode of SmackDown.

CM Punk also had a rivalry with Reigns' former faction, The Shield, back in the day. The two stars may not be fans of each other, but could potentially have a memorable rivalry on WWE television sometime in the future.

#2. Jey Uso left The Bloodline after failing to dethrone Reigns last year

Jey Uso departed The Bloodline following SummerSlam 2023. He battled Roman Reigns in a Tribal Combat match but was betrayed by his brother. Jimmy Uso interfered at the premium live event last year and cost his brother his shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Main Event Jey was announced as the newest member of RAW by Cody Rhodes at Payback 2023 and has since gone on to have a successful run as a singles star on the red brand. However, Jey Uso most likely still dislikes The Original Tribal Chief for turning his twin against him.

#1. Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns had a backstage issue in 2022

Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns have battled several times in the past. Owens initially did not want to face Cody Rhodes for the title at WWE Bash in Berlin but got heated when SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis suggested The American Nightmare battle Reigns instead.

A couple of years ago, Reigns had an issue with Owens regarding an unplanned spot during the WarGames match at Survivor Series. The Prizefighter reportedly slapped Reigns and caused bruising under his eye. While the issue may have been resolved shortly after the incident, Owens likely disdains Reigns for preventing him from becoming champion multiple times during his tenure as a WWE Superstar.
