5 times Roman Reigns proved he is WWE's top heel

#1. Roman Reigns mauls Jimmy Uso at WWE Hell in a Cell 2020

Roman Reigns went to despicable lengths to retain the Universal Championship

After becoming the new WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns had his first feud against his cousin, Jey Uso. It was a really personal rivalry that became more and more violent over time. The two men faced each other for the first time at WWE Clash of Champions.

The Universal Champion assaulted his younger cousin throughout the match. He constantly asked Jey to acknowledge him as The Head of the Table but the latter refused to give up.

The Tribal Chief's brutality forced Jey's brother, Jimmy Uso, to throw in the towel. However, the rivalry didn't end there, as the two superstars faced again in an 'I Quit' match inside the Hell in a Cell.

Roman Reigns did not care that he was facing his own blood and absolutely manhandled Jey Uso. From Leather Strap to Steel Steps, Reigns used every weapon possible to inflict damage on his cousin. However, he still could not succeed in making him quit. So, he used a different way to win the match.

The Tribal Chief attacked Jimmy Uso, who had come to save Jey from Roman's onslaught. Initially, he expressed displeasure about the entire situation and got emotional. But as Jimmy went to console Roman, the latter trapped him in a guillotine choke. It was some excellent heel work from The Head of the Table.

Jimmy Uso was already dealing with an injury at the time, which could have worsened after the attack. So, Jey had to quit to save his brother from The Universal Champion.

The match was a masterpiece of storytelling, as it solidified Reigns as a ruthless heel. Reigns' treatment of his own family established him as a sadistic and emotionless being who'd go to any length to remain The Head of the Table.
