10 WWE Superstars and their original WWE gimmick names

#1 Roman Reigns was called Roman Leakee

The Roman Reigns name debuted in August 2012

Love him or loathe him, Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania main-event record alone is enough to cement his legacy as one of the top WWE Superstars since the Attitude Era.

“The Big Dog” likely would have made it to the big time regardless of his surname, but there’s no denying that Roman Reigns sounds a lot stronger than Roman Leakee, which is the name he debuted as in August 2010.

In April 2011, he became known simply as Leakee, which was changed to Roman Reigns in August 2012.
