#5 Roman Reigns is undefeated at Fastlane
While the greatest streak in pro-wrestling belongs to the Undertaker at WrestleMania, the Big Dog also has his little streak of undefeated matches at the Fastlane PPV.
Roman Reigns has been part of 3 matches at Fastlane, winning all 3 of them, thus making his win-loss record 3-0.
His debut match at the PPV was in 2015 where he defeated Daniel Bryan in what is considered one of the best matches in the PPV's short history. The very next year, Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose in a triple threat to earn a title shot at WM 32. His last match at the PPV was in 2017, where he defeated the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman.
Will Roman be able to maintain his streak this year? Will the Shield stay united in their match against the heel trio? We shall get to know that soon.
