3 current popular wrestlers who have never worked for WWE and 3 who have only worked in the company

#1 Roman Reigns (only wrestled in WWE)

Roman Reigns is possibly the biggest homegrown star in WWE, after John Cena. The Big Dog made his way to WWE in 2010, and worked in FCW for a while. Reigns soon formed The Shield with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, and the trio moved to the main roster by interfering in the main event of Survivor Series 2012. The Shield broke up two years later, and WWE pushed Reigns to be the company's next top star.

He headlined four straight WrestleMania events against the very best WWE had to offer. Reigns became a polarizing figure due to WWE forcing him upon the audience, much like John Cena. It all changed recently, when Reigns was turned heel and he aligned with Paul Heyman on WWE SmackDown.

Reigns' character makeover is one of the most interesting things WWE fans have witnessed in 2020. He is someone who has a large fan following, especially among kids. That's why we're almost sure that we'll never see Reigns wrestle outside WWE.

About the author

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
