WWE recently acknowledged Roman Reigns’ 2026 undefeated record, meaning that this is definitely something they want fans to take notice of.
The OTC started off the year with a major victory, winning January’s Royal Rumble to punch his ticket for WrestleMania 42.
Reigns went on to challenge for CM Punk’s World Heavyweight Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All, with the Tribal Chief walking away with the gold.
The World Heavyweight Champion has defended his title five times since then, with his first two defenses being against his real-life cousin at Backlash and Clash In Italy.
The OTC then took a trip down memory lane at SummerSlam, defeating Seth Rollins and seemingly ending their rivalry.
Penta was Roman Reigns’ next title challenger, with the #1 contender’s tournament winner ultimately coming up short on the September 14 Raw episode, ahead of LA Knight unsuccessfully challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank.
It was during Roman Reigns’ latest appearance – facing Sami Zayn for the Crown Jewel Championship at Crown Jewel – that it was noted on commentary that Reigns hasn’t suffered a single loss this year, and not since Survivor Series 2025.
With WWE bringing up Reigns’ undefeated record for 2026, there have been rumors swirling regarding who will be the next star to defeat the OTC.
Here are three WWE stars who could end Roman Reigns’ undefeated streak.
Royce Keys (& The 946)
With the 946 terrorizing the Bloodline for a number of months now, Royce Keys appears to be the biggest threat to Roman Reigns’ win streak.
Reigns and Keys will clash in faction warfare at Survivor Series, with the Bloodline and the 946 set to battle it out in WarGames.
Even if Reigns manages to lead the Bloodline to victory, he could still have Royce Keys to deal with post-Survivor Series, with Keys having his eyes on the World Heavyweight Championship.
A Royce Keys victory over Roman Reigns would help to elevate the rising star, while providing a shocking moment for fans.
Penta
As long as Penta holds the Money in the Bank briefcase, Roman Reigns will have to keep looking over his shoulder.
Penta won the 2026 Money in the Bank ladder match in October, in the process earning the opportunity to cash in for a championship match at a time of his choosing.
While Penta has since won the World Tag Team Championship with Je’Von Evans, this is only a temporary distraction, with the Mexican star still having a title match in hand.
With Penta previously unsuccessfully challenging for Roman Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship, we could see the luchador capitalize on a 946-worn Reigns to avenge his loss and win his first WWE world title.
Oba Femi
Oba Femi seems to be the most obvious choice to dethrone Roman Reigns and end his win streak, especially following previous call-outs.
While Femi called out Reigns following WrestleMania 42 in April, the duo were kept separate through the summer, with The Ruler even giving up his guaranteed title shot to instead face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
While Femi sent another message to Reigns during the Money in the Bank post-show, it appears we’ve still got a while to wait for this clash, with Reigns vs Femi rumored to be taking place at WrestleMania 43 next April.
With WWE giving Oba Femi a monster push, it would make a lot of sense to see The Ruler serve Reigns his first loss in over a year on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
