At the rate Roman Reigns’ momentum soared, it seemed as though it was near impossible to pin the Tribal Chief. He had The Bloodline protecting him every step of the way. But, The Usos’ rise against tyranny saw the Bloodline go up in flames. Reigns went three years without getting pinned. After vanquishing stars like Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, John Cena, Edge, and others, the champion came full circle with The Bloodline’s turncoat, Jey Uso.
Jey is no stranger to suffering an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Roman Reigns. However, at Money in the Bank, Jey Uso finally got his revenge on the Head of the Table. One of the high points of the match saw Jey Uso kicking out of the pin by delivering a low blow to The Tribal Chief.
Reigns and Solo did not let up until the latter was taken out, leaving Roman Reigns all by himself. In the end, it took multiple super kicks and a frog splash to do the unthinkable, beating Roman Reigns clean.
After the match, fans were satisfied to see The Tribal Chief break down at ringside. Reigns’ expression changed from a look of astonishment to rage.

I've been anticipating this part of Roman's arc for so long.And it's finally here! I can't wait to see how he portrays losing his mind as his empire continues to crumble. We've gotten glimpses before but now I expect all the ugly emotions he tries to keep locked in to go wild lol
