Finishing Move: Superman Punch

Roman Reigns is a part of the legendary Anoa'i family. His relatives are people like Nia Jax, Meng, and Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.

Reigns had a brief pro football career before he joined the family business, as it were. He was placed in Florida Championship Wrestling, the developmental entity which would eventually evolve into NXT. Roman used the Leakee gimmick for a time before making his main roster debut alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose as the Shield.

When the Shield split, Roman was set up as the top babyface in the company. However, his Royal Rumble victory was met with more boos than cheers, and he has had an even split in fan reactions ever since. With his recent diagnoses of Leukemia, however, we can only imagine the fans will be ecstatic when he returns.
