#3. Roman Reigns didn't plan on becoming a WWE Superstar
Trending
It has been well-documented throughout Roman Reigns' WWE career that he is from a famous wrestling family. The Anoa'i family is one of the best-known families in the wrestling business and includes the likes of The Rock, Nia Jax, Rikishi, The Usos, and The Wild Samoans.
Even though Roman Reigns was aware of the legacy that had been passed down from his father from a young age, the current Universal Champion wasn't prepared to follow in his footsteps.
Like many current and former WWE superstars, Reigns was pursuing a career as a gridiron footballer. Reigns played for several teams whilst in college before going undrafted as part of the 2007 NFL Draft. The star later signed for the Minnesota Vikings in May 2007 but his first diagnosis of leukemia led to his release.
Reigns fought to remain part of the NFL for the next year, before opting to retire from the game in 2008. When his football dream came to an end, Reigns turned his attention to the family sport and later signed with WWE.
