Roman Reigns has been the face of the WWE for many years now and currently holds the company’s Undisputed Universal Championship title. But before his rise to superstardom in the WWE, he was just Leati Joseph “Joe” Anoaʻi, an aspiring professional football player. While he played college football, fortune never allowed him to play at the pinnacle of American football in the NFL. While Anoaʻi belonged to a prestigious wrestling family [https://americanfootballdatabase.fandom.com/wiki/Roman_Reigns], football was the sport he wanted to pursue. Anoaʻi began his footballing journey with Georgia Tech on the college level for two years between 2005 and 2006. He even declared himself eligible for the 2007 NFL Draft but went undrafted. However, despite that NFL franchise, Minnesota Vikings [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/minnesota-vikings/] gave Anoaʻi the chance he dreamt of. He ended up signing with the team in May 2007 for an off-season stint, but it never worked. Anoa’i was diagnosed [https://www.givemesport.com/87972644-brock-lesnar-the-rock-roman-reigns-former-wwe-champions-forgotten-careers-in-nfl] with Leukemia during a physical examination and was cut from the team later that month. HOW LEATI JOSEPH “JOE” ANOAʻI NEVER GAVE UP AND BECAME ROMAN REIGNS While he received another opportunity with the Jacksonville Jaguars, it didn’t work out for a long time, and he was released soon after. Despite falling agonizingly short of his dreams, Anoa’i never gave up on football. He ended up playing in the Canadian Football League. He was playing [https://www.thesportster.com/wwe-wrestlers-tried-other-sports-failed/] for the Edmonton Eskimos in 2008 before again getting released. Anoa’i ended up retiring from the sport. Career [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-brock-lesnar-or-roman-reigns-which-wwe-megastar-had-the-better-nfl-career/] Despite all the adversities and health scares, Anoa’i made himself into Roman Reigns with the medium of WWE. While Leukemia gave him problems throughout his life, Reigns always fought to be the best at what he could become. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/r894437_1296x729_16-9.jpg] While his NFL dream ended prematurely, Reigns was always a fan before ever dreaming of becoming an NFL player. The 2022 NFL season will see many fans like him tune in and dream of winning the Super Bowl title.

WWE Undisputed Universal champion Roman Reigns had a difficult time when he was
trying to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL.

degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. Initially, he worked as a freelance
content writer and later as a part of Sports404. An unquenchable thirst to learn
about all things NFL and NBA, adding to a rather healthy obsession with playing
outdoor sports like basketball, and soccer with an almost encyclopedic knowledge
of this industry make him a sports aficionado. He still fondly remembers his
first experience of a basketball game, which would pave the way for his
incredible love and dedication towards his writing craft. Above all, his
interest in NFL stems from the inspiring story of Tom Brady whose legendary
status is well known. More recently, Anuj has found himself enjoying the
greatness of various other players like Aaron Rodgers, LeBron James, Patrick

<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.

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 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ Career Timeline</strong></h2>
Roman didn't immediately take a liking to professional wrestling.

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.
