Roman Reigns faced Xavier Woods during December 2021 on an episode for SmackDown, with the match being ruled a no contest. However, Woods believes that he deserves credit for ending Roman’s two year win streak at the time.
Xavier Woods told Simon Miller of WhatCulture that he feels like he doesn’t get the same credit Seth Rollins does for defeating Reigns during his historic Universal championship reign.
“The fact that I won King of the Ring by defeating a former Intercontinental Champion in Ricochet, a former Heavyweight Champion in Jinder Mahal, the first-ever Unievrsal Champion in Finn Balor, and then going on to defeat each of the Usos in singles competition, and then be the only man — sorry, Seth Rollins, we’ll talk about that one but not mine — I’m the first man to break Roman Reigns’ two-year winning streak. People don’t talk about it, why? Tell me why. I don’t understand whhhyyyyy we don’t talk about this! I’ve been killing it. Next year is 20 years in the game.”

Woods has been on and off WWE TV over the last few weeks since Kofi Kingston suffered an ankle surgery that required surgery. However, he did continue his storyline with LA Knight on last week’s SmackDown.
