Alright, guys, so the other day I was digging into this whole WWE Universal Championship thing, and I got totally sidetracked by this question: Who finally beat Roman Reigns, the guy who held the title forever?

First, I started by just, you know, Googling around. I figured, someone out there must have written about this, right? I typed in some stuff like “longest reigning WWE Universal Champion defeated” and “who beat Roman Reigns.”
My Research Process
- Started with Google: Just basic searches to get the lay of the land.
- Checked out some wrestling news sites: places were full of articles, but many were just hype.
- Dived in Forums: I hit up a couple of wrestling forums. You know, where the real die-hard fans hang out. Figured they’d have the answer, but to find the proper or real anwser, I needed to find more.
I spent a good chunk of time just reading through articles and forum posts. Some of it was helpful, some of it was just people arguing about who should have beaten him. It was a mess!
After a while, I realized I needed a more focused approach. I started specifically searching for the results of big WWE events, like WrestleManias and Royal Rumbles, because those are usually where the title changes hands.
I also made sure to refine my search terms to focus on specific matches and dates, which helped narrow things down a lot.
Finally, bingo! I stumbled upon the answer, and the detailed information on the match. Cody Rhodes. Man, that was a hunt! It was satisfying to finally piece it all together, like solving a little puzzle.
