Despite fan perception not being what it once was and the so-so booking that plagued the company, WWE often delivers exceptional main events for major shows. Their top stars are among the best workers and produce top-notch quality in the headline spot.

This year, WWE often relied on Roman Reigns to anchor the top of the card. His main events for the Universal Championship have been consistently great. When he wasn't there, superstars such as Bobby Lashley, Bianca Belair, and Big E held things down for the company.

Roman Reigns headlined seven of WWE's eleven pay-per-views in 2021. With all those main events for The Tribal Chief this year, it is easy to forget some of them. However, one such underrated contest was his clash against Cesaro at WrestleMania Backlash.

The Swiss Superman was coming off the heels of his biggest win against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 37 Night 1. Cesaro used this momentum to propel himself to the WWE Universal Championship Match.

However, Roman Reigns gained an advantage by attacking Cesaro's weak shoulder. Despite the challenger's comeback, the Tribal Chief choked him out to end an excellent headliner on this pay-per-view.
