Roman Reigns has completely dominated his rivalry with John Cena — one of WWE’s most decorated superstars — leaving the 17-time World Champion without a single singles victory against “The Tribal Chief.”
According to reports, Reigns and Cena have faced each other 11 times in singles competition, and Reigns has emerged victorious in every match, holding an undefeated 11–0 record against the legendary superstar. The shocking statistic has left fans calling it “embarrassing” for Cena, who once ruled the WWE for over a decade.
Their rivalry began in 2017, when Reigns defeated Cena at No Mercy, in what was considered a symbolic “passing of the torch.” They clashed again at SummerSlam 2021, where Reigns successfully defended his Universal Championship against Cena in front of a sold-out Las Vegas crowd. The result further cemented Reigns’ dominance and marked another loss for Cena in his rare WWE return.
Analysts believe this record represents more than just a losing streak — it highlights a generational shift in WWE. Cena, once “the face of the company,” is now the veteran helping elevate Reigns, who has become the defining figure of the modern WWE era.
While Cena’s legacy as a 17-time world champion remains untouched, his winless singles record against Roman Reigns stands as a surprising blemish in an otherwise legendary career. For Reigns, however, it’s a powerful testament to his status as the undisputed leader of this generation.
