It seems Roman Reigns should avoid trusting anyone anymore. Throughout his WWE career, the Head of the Table has been a part of different stables with the most trustworthy people he could ever imagine. However, the people closest to him in Kayfabe have hurt his feelings the most.

Reigns began his WWE main roster career in 2012 alongside his Shield brethren. After being part of The Shield faction and rising in the ranks, Roman formed another faction years later. The Tribal Chief joined forces with his cousins and Paul Heyman to create The Bloodline. However, he has faced betrayals there as well. Here is the list of people who betrayed Roman over the years:
#3 Sami Zayn betrayed his Tribal Chief
Sami Zayn attempted to join The Bloodline with his comedy character last year which seemed intriguing. Little did everyone know that it was the beginning of another compelling storyline. Sami became a part of The Bloodline even without being their blood. He was named the Honorary Uce in the family faction. However, he eventually made his choice after inflicting so much manipulation.

At the Royal Rumble in 2023, the Honorar Uce was given the task of punishing his own best friend, Kevin Owens. Nonetheless, Sami had enough of following the orders of The Tribal Chief and hit him with a steel chair on his back in one of the most cinematic moments ever.
#2 Jey Uso kicked Roman Reigns in the face
This one is the most recent betrayal that Roman Reigns has suffered. Jimmy Uso had already kicked him at Night of Champions 2023 PLE after inflicting humiliation. However, Jey Uso was yet to make his choice, as he was once the most trustworthy right-hand man for The Tribal Chief. A few weeks later, Jey chose his brother and The Bloodline collapsed.

On an episode of SmackDown, Main Event Jey told his brother Jimmy, “You’re out, because I’m out too,” before shocking the world by kicking his Tribal Chief in the face. The moment will go down as one of the most shocking swerves in WWE history.
#1 Seth Rollins dismantled The Shield
This has to be hands-down the most shocking betrayal that no one saw coming. The Shield is one of the greatest factions in the history of professional wrestling. And the brotherhood between Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose was unmatched. When Rollins took a steel chair at Roman’s back, it was recorded as the most shocking moment of that time.
On an episode of Raw back in 2014, The Shield while on the top of their game, gathered to take on The Authority led by Triple H. However, The Game had a plan B and no one could guess what it could be. Eventually, Rollins betrayed his brothers to officially join The Authority. It will forever be the most jaw-dropping moment of all time.
