5. Roman Reigns

Last Month’s Ranking: No. 1

Last Month’s Segments: On the Raw on Netflix debut, Roman Reigns went to war in a Tribal Combat match against Solo Sikoa. After an intense battle, Reigns managed to vanquish his former protégé. Following his victory, The Tribal Chief was absent from television but remained a focal point of WWE programming, as multiple rivals—including Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens—continued to mention him weekly. Even when he’s not on the show, Reigns remains a central figure in WWE.

Royal Rumble In-Ring Performance: Entering his first Royal Rumble in five years, Reigns aimed to reassert himself in the World Title picture. He quickly made an impact, delivering devastating spears to The Miz and Sheamus, leading to their eliminations. The Tribal Chief then made short work of TNA’s World Champion Joe Hendry and Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker, eliminating both.

Reigns secured a total of four eliminations before being eliminated by CM Punk. Throughout the match, he remained a credible contender for victory. With his ongoing story involving Punk and Seth Rollins, WWE fans are in for a roller coaster ride in the months leading up to WrestleMania.
