Roman Reigns defeated Sheamus to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion on tonight’s RAW from Philadelphia.
Reigns was put into the main event by Vince McMahon with the stipulation that if he lost, he would be fired. The match saw interference from Vince, leading to Reigns hitting him with a Superman punch. Reigns then beat the odds to defeat Sheamus with a spear.
With the exception of the quick title reign he had at the end of Survivor Series, this is Reigns’ first run with the WWE World Heavyweight Title

Roman Reigns def. Sheamus to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion
Sometimes, a little extra incentive is all you need. With his career hanging in the balance, Roman Reigns capped off a frustrating year of almosts to finally become WWE World Heavyweight Champion. That means Sheamus is out, his reign cut short by a perfect storm of a performance from The Big Dog that called for him to overcome an early deficit — and the presence of Mr. McMahon at ringside — to maintain his footing in the contest.
Reigns hung so tight with the champion that Mr. McMahon himself had to pull the ref off to stop a three count, then distracted said official long enough for The League of Nations to strike. Reigns shook all that off, Superman Punched The Chairman (!), kicked out of a Brogue Kick and, finally, Speared Sheamus to win. Almost a year after his ignominious Royal Rumble win in this same building, Roman Reigns is finally champion. And boy, did he earn it.
