#1 Braun Strowman at Payback and Great Balls of Fire
Now we come to the first and only man to ever beat Roman Reigns clean twice. "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman has defeated Reigns at Payback and Great Balls of Fire this year. If there was anyone who could realistically beat Reigns, it's this behemoth. But that doesn't mean anyone expected him to do it more than once.
Strowman is in the midst of a mega-push. It's not necessarily one that will culminate in a Universal title win, although it could at SummerSlam. Rather, it's a push that is establishing him as one of the most dominant superstars WWE has ever seen.
That's why his victory over Reigns at Payback was less surprising than Reigns' other clean losses. However, that didn't make it less significant for Strowman.
And WWE doubled down when Strowman defeated Reigns in an ambulance match at Great Balls of Fire. A lot of people were expecting Reigns to come out on top in this one, but Strowman dodged a spear and Reigns launched himself into the ambulance, allowing Strowman to secure the victory.
Of course, Reigns got some revenge after the match, but it doesn't matter. The record books say Strowman has two clean victories over a man who has only suffered three other such losses since joining the main roster. That's an impressive feat.
