The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and in the case of Roman Reigns, he fell into the pits of despair on his Island of Relevancy. After failing to capture the tag titles at Night of Champions, everyone thought Reigns will be making up for it with a win in The Bloodline Civil War match. London could have been the place where he reclaimed his position at the top.
But it all came crumbling down courtesy of his own cousins, The Usos. But defeating him was one thing. Jey Uso broke Reigns’ streak that even former world champions like Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Seth Rollins couldn’t touch.
Roman Reigns faced his greatest tragedy in The Bloodline story

After giving us false finish after false finish during the main event of Money in The Bank PLE, The Usos took quick care of their brother, Solo Sikoa, outside of the ring. Inside the ring, they repeatedly gave their cousin the beating of a lifetime. After multiple double superkicks to the head, Jey Uso finished him off with a frog splash from the top rope, a move that he has been doing for more than a decade in the WWE.
But when Jey Uso pinned Reigns, and the referee counted to three, the crowd popped big time. This was the same ending to the match, the first time the cousins met in a tag team match, 10 years ago at Money in the Bank 2013. This truly felt like a full-circle moment for the cousins with Jey Uso breaking Reigns’ three and a half years streak of not being pinned in any match.
Fans celebrate as The Tribal Chief finally got pinned
This is the exact result that the fans wanted and The Bloodline story delivered it completely. So let’s see what the fans have to say about the ending of this momentous match in WWE history.
This fan just found her happiest moment of the year.
#MITB Did not think I could have a happier WWE moment this year than Rhea Ripley winning at Mania, but the Usos just topped that. They deserved that win so much and there's no better person to have finally pinned Roman Reigns after all this time 🙌🏼
