When the group is together, it’s difficult to counter their cohesion. Reigns and the twins have dominated nearly everyone who has stood in their path. However, there have been instances where the trio has been overwhelmed.
Even during their strongest years as a faction, there were still a few moments where Roman Reigns and The Usos looked vulnerable. Some opponents managed to push the trio further than most fans expected.
In this listicle, we will look at three times Roman Reigns and The Usos found themselves on the back foot in WWE.
#3. WWE legend Brock Lesnar unleashes on The Bloodline
Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar at WWE Crown Jewel 2021 to retain the Universal Championship. However, the finish left The Beast Incarnate furious, as he believed that he had been screwed out of the title.
Lesnar arrived on the following episode of SmackDown looking for revenge. The former WWE Champion immediately went after The Head of the Table and quickly turned the situation chaotic.
The Usos tried to step in and help the OTC. However, Brock proved to be too much for all three men. Lesnar brutally attacked Reigns and his cousins during the segment and continued the assault around ringside.
At one point, Brock even used the steel steps during the attack as the situation spiraled further out of control. The chaos became so intense that several officials and superstars eventually had to rush down and separate the fight.
Despite Roman Reigns and The Usos usually being presented as dominant forces during the Bloodline era in WWE, Brock Lesnar completely turned the tables on them that night and left the faction retreating.
#2. RK-McBro unites to take out Roman Reigns and The Usos
The Usos came face-to-face with RK-Bro during a contract signing on the road to WrestleMania Backlash 2022. The segment was meant to make their Winners Take All tag team title match official, but things quickly became chaotic once both teams started trading shots at each other.
A huge brawl broke out between the two sides before Roman Reigns eventually made his way to the ring alongside Paul Heyman. Once the OTC arrived, The Bloodline quickly gained control of the situation. Reigns even ripped apart the contract and shoved the pieces into Riddle’s mouth while The Usos held him down.
For a brief moment, it looked like Roman Reigns and The Usos were going to completely embarrass RK-Bro in the middle of the ring. However, the situation changed once Drew McIntyre arrived.
The momentum shifted moments later. Drew McIntyre suddenly appeared and went right after The Bloodline. The Scottish Warrior fought off Jimmy and Jey before dropping Roman Reigns during the confrontation.
The segment ended with Reigns retreating while McIntyre stood tall alongside RK-Bro. It was one of the rare occasions where Roman Reigns and The Usos were left on the back foot during their dominant run.
#1. Jacob Fatu refuses to acknowledge Roman Reigns
The latest entry on this short list came on this week’s episode of WWE RAW. Roman Reigns wanted Jacob Fatu to acknowledge him after defeating Fatu at Backlash. However, The Samoan Werewolf was not in the mood to talk and outright refused to acknowledge the OTC.
The tension between the two stars had already reached another level following Backlash, where Fatu attacked Roman Reigns and multiple officials after the match. Despite losing the bout, Jacob made it clear that he was far from done with The Bloodline.
Jacob Fatu first attacked Jey Uso backstage before making his way toward the ring. Jimmy Uso tried to stop him on the entrance ramp, but The Samoan Werewolf took him out as well.
That said, the biggest confrontation came once Fatu finally reached Roman Reigns. The two stars brawled inside the ring, and while the OTC initially fought back, Jacob slowly started overpowering him with repeated strikes and the Tongan De*th Grip.
Fatu then completely dismantled The Bloodline during the closing moments of the show. He powerbombed Roman Reigns through the announce table before taking out Reigns and The Usos together with a running hip attack through the barricade. The segment ended with Jacob Fatu standing tall over the Samoan trio.
