Roman Reigns continued his part-time WWE schedule in 2025, participating in only seven matches throughout the year, mainly at the company’s biggest events like the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania 41, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, with mixed results. Sportstar rated all of Reigns’ matches in 2025 to identify his best and worst performances.
Highlights include the Men’s Wargames match at Survivor Series 2025, which was disappointing despite some memorable moments involving CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and a mysterious masked interference; it was rated 5.5/10 by TheSportster and received 4.25 stars from Dave Meltzer. Reigns’ fight against Solo Sikoa on the Netflix RAW premiere earned a 6.5/10 rating, praised for its high stakes but criticized for a slow start.
At WWE Clash in Paris 2025, Reigns’ power battle win over Bronson Reed was boosted by an enthusiastic crowd, though the match itself was simple and slow, earning 6.75/10. The WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Australian Street Fight against Reed involved intense weapon use and crowd engagement but suffered from overbooking and interference, rated 7.25/10. Teaming with Jey Uso at SummerSlam 2025, Reigns helped secure a solid opening match victory that involved a stolen spear finish, scoring 7.5/10.
In the Men’s Royal Rumble Match 2025, which saw Jey Uso’s surprise victory, Reigns played a major role in a high-energy event, rated 8.25/10. Finally, his best performance was the triple threat against CM Punk and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41, lauded for its storytelling, character work, and crowd reaction, earning a 9/10 and 4.75 stars from Meltzer.
Fan Take: Roman Reigns’ selective schedule with standout performances at key WWE events shows his enduring star power while highlighting the importance of quality storytelling and psychological depth in wrestling. This approach keeps fans invested in his character and could signal a new era of focused, high-impact matches in WWE’s future.
