Roman Reigns in his youth playing football
In 2010, he signed a developmental contract with the WWE and was drafted to FCW, with the ring name “Leakee.” He lost to Richie Steamboat in his debut FCW match and got his first win against Fahd Rakman. In 2012, after the rebranding of FCW to NXT, he changed his ring name to Roman Reigns.
His NXT career in singles competitions only lasted 3 matches after which he was called up to the main roster with ‘The Shield.’ In 2012, The Shield’ made an astonishing debut on the WWE main roster by attacking Ryback and John Cena during the Survivor Series pay-per-view by helping out CM Punk to retain the WWE Championship.
In 2014, after the dissolution of the Shield, he started to headline RAW and pay-per-view events of the WWE. After John Cena, the company pushed him to be the new face of WWE while he is also one of the most polarised superstars in WWE. He is widely criticised by fans for his below-par mic skills, and his bland character.
