Roman Reigns is an American professional wrestler and actor. He was born in Pensacola, Florida, United States, on May 25, 1985. He made his professional wrestling debut in 2010 in the Florida Championship Wrestling, which is now known as NXT. After spending a short amount of time in FCW, Reigns made his main roster debut on November 18, 2012, at the Survivor Series Premium Live Event. He made his debut alongside Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in a faction known as The Shield.
After ruling the entire WWE for more than 2 years, The Shield broke up in 2014, and Roman Reigns started his singles career. His initial days as a single competitor received too much backlash from the fans, and despite being a face in multiple storylines, Reigns used to get booed.
However, during the Pandemic era, Roman Reigns took a short break to focus on his health and returned at SummerSlam 2020 with a new heel character. He aligned himself with Paul Heyman and formed a faction known as The Bloodline with his cousins, the Usos, and Solo Sikoa. This character change made Roman one of the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling. During this period, Roman won the WWE Universal Championship, and this title reign lasted for 1316 days.
List of Roman Reigns’s WWE World Championships
Roman Reigns has won the WWE World Championships 6 six times in his career. He won his first-ever WWE Championship in 2015, when he defeated his best friend, Dean Ambrose, for the vacated WWE Championship. However, his first championship reign only lasted five minutes, as Sheamus cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat Reigns and become the new Champion.
Roman and Sheamus went on a very long feud which involved WWE authorities, including Triple H, Vince and Stephanie McMahon. At the end, Roman defeated Sheamus on an episode of Raw in late 2015 to become a two time WWE World Champion. Roman won his most memorable World Champion at Payback in 2020, where he defeated “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt & Braun Strowman to start his 1316 days Universal Championship reign. While being the Universal Champion, Roman also won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 38 by defeating Brock Lesnar and becoming a double champion. After Reigns won both the Universal and WWE Championships, they were merged into one single title known as the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
