Top 10 rare photos of Roman Reigns you might not have seen

#5 ‘You’ve got to work on your body’

Jim Ross said Reigns had to lose weight

Pictured here during his time with Georgia Tech, Roman Reigns weighed over 300lbs and is clearly carrying a lot more fat than he does nowadays in WWE.

Jim Ross mentioned on his podcast last year how Reigns was warned when he signed for WWE in 2010 that he had to lose weight if he was to succeed in the business.

He said: “The thing we told him was, ‘You’ve got to work on your body,’ and I’m sure The Rock probably had some influence on that, too, but Reigns worked extremely hard and is very dedicated.”
