<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania</h2>
One of WWEâ€™s Big Five, WrestleMania is arguably the largest pro wrestling event in the world. Its first iteration featured the likes of Andre the Giant, Mr T, and Hulk Hogan, and a total attendance of just shy of 20,000 people. With WWE increasing the stakes each year, its latest iteration, WrestleMania XL, is set to feature over 25 of the promotionâ€™s biggest wrestlers, including Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania Origins</h2>
WrestleMania was conceptualized as a rival to NWAâ€™s Starrcade, which began in 1983 and was initially organized by Jim Crockett Promotions. The two promotions were in a fierce battle to come out on top in the 80s, with NWAâ€™s popularity waning as the then-WWF expanded nationwide, with a hope to go global. Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon was credited with creating the concept of WrestleMania. The PPVâ€™s name originated from WWFâ€™s lead ring announcer Howard Finkel, as a play on the Beatlemania of the 60s.

As WWFâ€™s inaugural PPV, the first-ever WrestleMania took place in 1985 at Madison Square Garden. Though WrestleMania 1 didnâ€™t manage to outshine the 1985 edition of Starrcade, which had a combined attendance of 30,000 people, it still managed to beat Starrcadeâ€™s debut attendance of 15,000, with over 19,000 people attending WrestleMania 1 in person, setting the stage for a PPV that would go on to become a household name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Evolution of WrestleMania</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania I-IV: The Foundation</b></h3>
Even with its debut, WrestleManiaâ€™s core tenet was â€œgo big or go homeâ€. WWF went all out, with a match card featuring wrestling greats like The Iron Sheikh, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, David and Bruno Sammartino, and The Fabulous Moolah. In keeping with what would later become tradition, the flagship marquee event also featured several big names from the era, including boxing legend Muhammed Ali, pianist Liberace, pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, and New York Yankees manager Billy Martin.

The all-round success of WrestleMania 1 saw WWF overtake NWA and AWA (American Wrestling Association). The event was critical to the '80s wrestling boom, which saw a sharp increase in the demand for professional wrestling.

Shortly after, WrestleMania II took the show to another level, simultaneously taking place in three different venues across the country - New York, Chicago, and California. While initially received poorly, as the logistics of organizing a major wrestling event across three venues overtook the promotion, it set the stage yet again for WWF one-upping itself with each edition.

In comparison, WrestleMania III managed to outshine its previous iterations, having broken the record for the largest recorded attendance at an indoor live event in North America with a purported attendance of over 93,000 people, only broken by WrestleMania 32 in 2016. It was also iconic for its matches, with Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant going down in history as two of the greatest matches in pro wrestling history. While not as iconic as its predecessor, WrestleMania IV featured the first appearance of Donald Trump at a Mania, marking the start of the relationship between the promotion and the Trump Organization.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania V-X: The Golden Era</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Golden Era was truly something to behold. The promotionâ€™s fame had skyrocketed, effectively cementing itself as a stalwart player in the pro wrestling industry. With the success of WrestleMania came the introduction of pay-per-views like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, meaning that the Golden Era had more to offer throughout the year.

However, WrestleManiaâ€™s popularity never waned with the addition of the new PPVs, as it continued to remain the biggest wrestling event in the country. WrestleMania saw some of the most legendary moments in WWE history in the early â€˜90s. Major feuds between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and Shawn Michaels, aka Mr. WrestleMania, and Razor Ramon managed to outsell competitors in popularity.

The Golden Era of WWE served as a platform to cement the legacies of several WWE legends who have remained a household name till today, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior. WrestleMania VII also saw the beginning of The Undertakerâ€™s Mania streak that would continue well into the 2010s.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XI-XX: Attitude Era Impact</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Attitude Era saw the culmination of several iconic storylines coming to a head at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The PPV reached its peak during this period, with â€˜Stone Coldâ€™ Steve Austin beating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV for the WWF Championship title, marking the first of six title reigns.

This also marked the beginning of the legendary rivalry between Austin and Dwayne â€˜The Rockâ€™ Johnson, the epitome of the Attitude Era. WrestleMania XV saw the first fight between the two pro wrestling stalwarts, where Stone Cold beat The Rock during the main event to win back the WWF Championship belt.

The beginning of the new Millennium also saw the introduction of the first-ever Triangle Ladder match, with the iconic tag teams The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian going against each other for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This era also saw the first-ever WrestleMania under the WWE at WrestleMania XIX, which also marked the end of Steve Austinâ€™s feud with The Rock.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XXI-XXX: New Millennium Milestones</b></h3>
In keeping up with becoming bigger and better, WWE introduced the concept of the Money In The Back ladder match at WrestleMania 21, which would become a main fixture in the PLE. This period of WrestleMania managed to rival the Attitude Era, giving us iconic matches with The Undertaker vs Batista at WrestleMania 23 and Ric Flairâ€™s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV.

WrestleMania XXX in particular was something to behold, as The Undertakerâ€™s unbroken 22-year streak was finally broken by Brock Lesnar, rendering the WWE universe in awe. Other moments also include Daniel Bryanâ€™s rise to the top after an initial win against Triple H and a win against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania during the 2010s</b></h3>
The latter half of the 2010s saw increased interest in WrestleMania as WrestleMania 32 broke the attendance record previously set by WrestleMania III, with an attendance of over 101,000 people. With WWE itself moving towards organizing events in international venues, this expanded the reach WrestleMania had with fans outside of the States. WrestleMania 35 was the first since 2000 to not feature The Undertaker, but more importantly, was also the first WrestleMania to feature a womanâ€™s main event, with a triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey.
<h3 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania in the 2020s</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 36</b></h4>
WrestleMania 36 was a plethora of WrestleMania firsts, with the first-ever edition of the PLE to be held across two nights and the first to not have a live audience due to pandemic restrictions. Considering restrictions, the 2020 iteration of Mania was widely regarded a success, especially in the backdrop of no live audiences, as well as several last-minute changes to the roster to account for potential health risks. This was also heightened by WWE deciding to play with its format, with a Firefly Fun House match with Bray Wyatt taking down John Cena.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 37</b></h4>
While WrestleMania 36 was an example of WWE making do, WrestleMania 37 saw the promotion come back bigger and better. The 37th iteration of The Show of Shows took place in Tampa, Florida, where the reduction in COVID-19 protocols meant more freedom for WrestleMania to have a live audience, albeit limited capacity and with restrictions to the audience.

This also marked the first WWE event to be livestreamed solely on Peacock, a product of the WWE Networkâ€™s earlier merger with Peacock in March of that year.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 38</b></h4>
WrestleMania 38 marked the year when WWE returned the Showcase of the Immortals to its full capacity, with over 131,000 people attending over the course of two days. This also led to the evolution of WrestleMania Weekend, with WWE kickstarting the PLE with a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown featuring an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The PLE also saw the surprise return of Cody Rhodes, as he took on Seth Rollins on Night 1, as well as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar headlining the event on Night 2.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 39</b></h4>
In its most recent iteration, WrestleMania continues to prove its worth as the biggest pro wrestling event in history, with Mania 39 grossing $21.6 million in ticket sales alone. The PLE saw the appearance of several modern WWE greats including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Edge, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

<div class="jsx-45ea8ad8a1b58c7c">
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Cody Rhodes: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</b></h2>
Cody Rhodes was at one point probably the biggest star on the AEW roster, despite its ever-expanding horizons. <span style="font-weight: 400">Â He is a professional wrestler currently signed with WWE as he is renowned as the American Nightmare. Despite being the son of the legendary Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, Cody did not get off to a dream start in WWE, but he made a comeback in 2023 and since then has popularized himself as the top babyface in the company.Â </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodesâ€™ early life</strong></h2>
Cody Rhodes was born on June 30, 1985, in Marietta, Georgia, United States to the legendary WWE Superstar Dusty Rhodes and Michelle Rubio Rhodes. Considered a legend in wrestling, Dustin formed a major part of the National Wrestling Alliance and the World Wrestling Federation for over a decade. After making a mark as one of the prominent wrestlers of his time, he also earned respect by training new talent.

Meanwhile, Cody's brother, Dustin (Goldust) is also a wrestler, and both siblings have proudly followed their father's footsteps. He is currently signed with AEW and, over the years, has also worked with other organizations like WCW, WWE, TNA, and AEW.Â Rhodes also has two sisters named Teil Gergel Margaret and Kristin Ditto. Speaking of his educational qualifications, he completed high school at Lassiter High School.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' wife and children</strong></h2>
Cody Rhodes met his wife Brandi Rhodes, born Brandi Alexis Reed. In 2011 while working for WWE and the couple tied the knot in September 2013. Before Cody, his father met Brandi during a training session and seemed quite impressed with her green eyes. In 2015, Reed made headlines as the first Black woman ring announcer at WrestleMania.

However, her career graph resembled that of her husband's at one point as in 2015 she was also released from WWE, and following that she joined AEW for a brief period.Â Meanwhile, it was in June 2021 that the wrestling couple welcomed their daughter, Liberty Iris Runnels.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' net worth</strong></h2>
As per Pinkvilla, Cody Rhodes enjoys a net worth of $8 million. His salary details are kept under wraps, but it is believed that he earns over $0.5 million annually from the company. Rhodes has made many other small investments, like in gyms, to earn some extra income. He also takes home a good amount because of his endorsements with brands like WWE Shop, Mattel Creation, Migsmedia, and Fanatics.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>All about the wrestling career of Cody Rhodes</strong></h2>
</div>
July 16, 2007 marked Cody Rhodes' debut in WWE as he fought against Randy Orton in the prime-time show Raw. It was in September that he claimed the world tag team title with his partner Hardcore Holly while Rhodes also went on to win many championship titles after forming a tag team with Ted DiBiase Jr.

[caption id="attachment_512030" align="aligncenter" width="612"]<img class="wp-image-512030 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210112001607/cody-legacy.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes with Ted DiBiase Jr and Randy Orton" width="612" height="427" /> LAS VEGAS - AUGUST 24: (L-R) Wrestlers Ted DiBiase, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes appear during the WWE Monday Night Raw show at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center August 24, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)[/caption]

One of the prominent moments in his wrestling career came in 2008 when he formed a faction named Legacy alongside DiBiase and Orton. Despite forming partnerships with different wrestlers, Rhodes failed to find a proper footing in the world's biggest wrestling promotion. In 2013, he also formed a team with his elder brother Dustin, and the two defeated <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/seth-rollins">Seth Rollins</a> to win the WWE Battleground 2013, followed by a victory in the WWE Tag Team Championship.

In 2014, the wrestler rebranded himself as Stardust, a title used by his father at some point in his career. However, despite the accolades, Cody Rhodes was not satisfied with his role in WWE and requested to leave in 2016. Following his departure from the company, AEW saw his massive potential and signed him. After giving him a new look and an excellent character, Cody Rhodes looked evergreen. He was also the Executive Vice President of the promotion.

He held the AEW TNT Championship twice in 2020, losing to Brodie Lee and Darby Allin. However, on December 25 at the Holiday Bash episode of Rampage, Rhodes defeated Sammy Guevara to win the TNT Championship for a record 3rd time. On February 15, 2022, Rhodes left AEW.

It was a golden period for the wrestler as he participated in various promotions, including ROH, Impact Wrestling, etc. Meanwhile, it was a homecoming for Rhodes after six years as he participated in WrestleMania 38 and defeated Seth Rollins to capture all the headlines. What followed was an impressive performance by the star at WrestleMania 39 to challenge Roman Reigns for the title.

However, he failed to create a history and lost the marquee match. It was not the end of the story for the icon as the odds were in his favor to work his charm and defeat Reigns at WrestleMania 40.
<div class="jsx-45ea8ad8a1b58c7c">
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodesâ€™ current WWE contract</strong></h2>
Wrestling icon Cody Rhodes made a stunning comeback to WWE in April 2023 after defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39 and since then he has been the focal point of discussion in the company. Seeing his popularity, it should not be a surprise that WWE wanted Rhodes to extend his stay and, in the same light, he signed a contract in October last year. However, no information regarding the financial terms and other conditions has been disclosed.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' career stats</strong></h2>
In his glorious wrestling career, Cody Rhodes has participated in a total of 1996 matches, winning 977 and losing 989 games. He enjoys a winning percentage of 48.9% while his losing percentage of 49.5% is underwhelming, to say the least. Meanwhile, the wrestler has 1.5% (30 matches) draws to his name.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Cody Rhodes' achievementsÂ </strong></h2>
Dawning his The American Nightmare persona, Cody Rhodes has collected plenty of achievements to his name.

Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More Cody Rhodes was at one point probably the biggest star on the AEW roster, despite its ever-expanding horizons. Â He is a professional wrestler currently signed with WWE as he is renowned as the American Nightmare. Despite being the son of the legendary Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, Cody did not get off to a dream start in WWE, but he made a comeback in 2023 and since then has popularized himself as the top babyface in the company.Â  Cody Rhodesâ€™ early life Cody Rhodes was born on June 30, 1985, in Marietta, Georgia, United States to the legendary WWE Superstar Dusty Rhodes and Michelle Rubio Rhodes. Considered a legend in wrestling, Dustin formed a major part of the National Wrestling Alliance and the World Wrestling Federation for over a decade. After making a mark as one of the prominent wrestlers of his time, he also earned respect by training new talent. Meanwhile, Cody&#8217;s brother, Dustin (Goldust) is also a wrestler, and both siblings have proudly followed their father&#8217;s footsteps. He is currently signed with AEW and, over the years, has also worked with other organizations like WCW, WWE, TNA, and AEW.Â Rhodes also has two sisters named Teil Gergel Margaret and Kristin Ditto. Speaking of his educational qualifications, he completed high school at Lassiter High School. Cody Rhodes&#8217; wife and children Cody Rhodes met his wife Brandi Rhodes, born Brandi Alexis Reed. In 2011 while working for WWE and the couple tied the knot in September 2013. Before Cody, his father met Brandi during a training session and seemed quite impressed with her green eyes. In 2015, Reed made headlines as the first Black woman ring announcer at WrestleMania. However, her career graph resembled that of her husband&#8217;s at one point as in 2015 she was also released from WWE, and following that she joined AEW for a brief period.Â Meanwhile, it was in June 2021 that the wrestling couple welcomed their daughter, Liberty Iris Runnels. Cody Rhodes&#8217; net worth As per Pinkvilla, Cody Rhodes enjoys a net worth of $8 million. His salary details are kept under wraps, but it is believed that he earns over $0.5 million annually from the company. Rhodes has made many other small investments, like in gyms, to earn some extra income. He also takes home a good amount because of his endorsements with brands like WWE Shop, Mattel Creation, Migsmedia, and Fanatics. All about the wrestling career of Cody Rhodes July 16, 2007 marked Cody Rhodes&#8217; debut in WWE as he fought against Randy Orton in the prime-time show Raw. It was in September that he claimed the world tag team title with his partner Hardcore Holly while Rhodes also went on to win many championship titles after forming a tag team with Ted DiBiase Jr. LAS VEGAS &#8211; AUGUST 24: (L-R) Wrestlers Ted DiBiase, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes appear during the WWE Monday Night Raw show at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center August 24, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) One of the prominent moments in his wrestling career came in 2008 when he formed a faction named Legacy alongside DiBiase and Orton. Despite forming partnerships with different wrestlers, Rhodes failed to find a proper footing in the world&#8217;s biggest wrestling promotion. In 2013, he also formed a team with his elder brother Dustin, and the two defeated Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins to win the WWE Battleground 2013, followed by a victory in the WWE Tag Team Championship. In 2014, the wrestler rebranded himself as Stardust, a title used by his father at some point in his career. However, despite the accolades, Cody Rhodes was not satisfied with his role in WWE and requested to leave in 2016. Following his departure from the company, AEW saw his massive potential and signed him. After giving him a new look and an excellent character, Cody Rhodes looked evergreen. He was also the Executive Vice President of the promotion. He held the AEW TNT Championship twice in 2020, losing to Brodie Lee and Darby Allin. However, on December 25 at the Holiday Bash episode of Rampage, Rhodes defeated Sammy Guevara to win the TNT Championship for a record 3rd time. On February 15, 2022, Rhodes left AEW. It was a golden period for the wrestler as he participated in various promotions, including ROH, Impact Wrestling, etc. Meanwhile, it was a homecoming for Rhodes after six years as he participated in WrestleMania 38 and defeated Seth Rollins to capture all the headlines. What followed was an impressive performance by the star at WrestleMania 39 to challenge Roman Reigns for the title. Image Courtesy: Imago However, he failed to create a history and lost the marquee match. It was not the end of the story for the icon as the odds were in his favor to work his charm and defeat Reigns at WrestleMania 40. Cody Rhodesâ€™ current WWE contract Wrestling icon Cody Rhodes made a stunning comeback to WWE in April 2023 after defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39 and since then he has been the focal point of discussion in the company. Seeing his popularity, it should not be a surprise that WWE wanted Rhodes to extend his stay and, in the same light, he signed a contract in October last year. However, no information regarding the financial terms and other conditions has been disclosed. Cody Rhodes&#8217; career stats In his glorious wrestling career, Cody Rhodes has participated in a total of 1996 matches, winning 977 and losing 989 games. He enjoys a winning percentage of 48.9% while his losing percentage of 49.5% is underwhelming, to say the least. Meanwhile, the wrestler has 1.5% (30 matches) draws to his name. Cody Rhodes&#8217; achievementsÂ  Dawning his The American Nightmare persona, Cody Rhodes has collected plenty of achievements to his name. 2x Royal Rumble winner (2023) and (2024) Â 2x Intercontinental Champion 4x tag team champion 3x world tag team championÂ  3x AEW TNT championÂ  1x IWGP United States Champion 1x ROH world champion 1 ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champion (with Matt Jackson &amp; Nick Jackson)Â  1 GFW NEX*GEN ChampionÂ  1x NWA world heavyweight championÂ  1x BPW champion ROH Feud of the Year (2018 â€“ vs. Kenny Omega) 1 OVW Heavyweight Championship 1 OVW Television Championship 2 OVW Southern Tag Team Championship (with Shawn Spears) Only the 4th Wrestler after Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and Stone Cold &#8220;Steve Austin&#8221;, to win back-to-back Royal Rumble matches All about Cody Rhodes&#8217; charities Cody has a very giving heart and has done his fair share of helping society.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns is one of the biggest faces to emerge from WWE in the past few years. H<span style="font-weight: 400">e is the current and the longest reigning Undisputed WWE Universal champion and is notorious for leading one of wrestling's most storied families called The Bloodline. </span>Despite receiving mixed fan reviews, the wrestler is considered a favorite of Vince McMahon. As a result, he is one of the most heavily pushed stars in the company. Roman has wrestling running in his family, with his father Sika Anoa'i, and late brother Rosey being former wrestlers. His cousins Umaga, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">Dwayne Johnson</a> were all prominent wrestlers in the company.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ Early Life</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns, whose actual name is Leati Joseph Anoa'i, was born on May 25, 1985, in Pensacola, Florida to Leati â€˜Sikaâ€™ AnoaÊ»i and Patricia Anoa'i. Reigns' father lived in the Leone village of American Samoa before moving to San Fransisco, California while his mother hails from Italy. He has three sisters named Vanessa, Myritza, and Summer while his elder brother Matthew Tapunu'u AnoaÊ»i aka Rosey died in April 2017.

Speaking of his education, the wrestler went to Pensacola Catholic High School followed by Escambia High School. He also studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ wife and children</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns has been happily married to Galina Becker since 2014 and they are proud parents of five children. The couple met each other in 2007 at the Georgia Institute of Technology and have been going strong since then. Reigns and Becker welcomed their daughter Joelle in December 2007 and they became parents to twin sons in 2016. In 2020, Galina gave birth to another set of twins.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
Reigns is one of the highest-paid wrestlers in WWE. According to Sports World News, the Samoan superstar has a net worth of $20 million.Â  His salary with the WWE touches $5 million annually. However, after additional perks and bonuses, it goes up quite a lot. This is not his only source of income, as he also acts in movies and has cash-rich endorsements.

Reigns earns a good amount of money by selling merchandise while he has also enjoyed endorsement deals with big brands like Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Nike.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ Career Timeline</strong></h2>
Roman didn't immediately take a liking to professional wrestling. Formerly, he was a professional football player, representing Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars in the National Football League in 2007. Notably, the Pensacola native was <span style="font-weight: 400">released by both football teams without having played in any regular season games.Â </span>

He later moved to professional wrestling in July 2010. Roman debuted as Roman Leakee in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), but the Superstar would make his main roster debut in the year 2012 as a part of The Shield, one of the most successful stables in the company's history. After the group split in 2014, Roman was quickly pushed as the face of the company and as a successor to John Cena.

However, his momentum got an enormous setback when the WWE star was diagnosed with Leukemia in the year 2018. His champion spirit would push him to make a comeback which has led him to his current status in the company. Reigns returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2020, months after preferring to stay out of in-ring action due to safety concerns during the pandemic. He introduced his heel character for the first time and received a huge reception from virtual fans.

He is the current and the longest reigning Undisputed WWE Universal champion and is notorious for leading one of wrestling&#8217;s most storied families called The Bloodline. Despite receiving mixed fan reviews, the wrestler is considered a favorite of Vince McMahon. As a result, he is one of the most heavily pushed stars in the company. Roman has wrestling running in his family, with his father Sika Anoa&#8217;i, and late brother Rosey being former wrestlers. His cousins Umaga, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and Dwayne Johnson were all prominent wrestlers in the company. Roman Reignsâ€™ Early Life Roman Reigns, whose actual name is Leati Joseph Anoa&#8217;i, was born on May 25, 1985, in Pensacola, Florida to Leati â€˜Sikaâ€™ AnoaÊ»i and Patricia Anoa&#8217;i. Reigns&#8217; father lived in the Leone village of American Samoa before moving to San Fransisco, California while his mother hails from Italy.

Roman Reignsâ€™ Career Timeline Roman didn&#8217;t immediately take a liking to professional wrestling.

Roman debuted as Roman Leakee in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), but the Superstar would make his main roster debut in the year 2012 as a part of The Shield, one of the most successful stables in the company&#8217;s history. After the group split in 2014, Roman was quickly pushed as the face of the company and as a successor to John Cena. However, his momentum got an enormous setback when the WWE star was diagnosed with Leukemia in the year 2018. His champion spirit would push him to make a comeback which has led him to his current status in the company.
