Ranking Roman Reigns' Every Championship Reign From Worst to Best

#3. WWE World Heavyweight Championship- WrestleMania 32, 2016

The Big Dog finally shines at WrestleMania

Roman Reigns' final reign as WWE World Champion initially received a lot of heat and was not well received among the WWE Universe due to the fact that Reigns was main-eventing his second WrestleMania in a row.

However, all of that eventually changed following his two title defenses against newest WWE signee and one of the true legends of the business, AJ Styles. Having defeated Triple H to win the WWE World Title at 'Mania 32, Roman Reigns would mark his first successful title defense against AJ Styles in an outstanding match at Payback.

And the very next month, The Big Dog would once again overcome The Phenomenal One in yet another instant classic. Reigns two title defenses against Styles subsequently elevated his third reign as World Champion before The Big Dog lost the belt to the returning Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank.
