8 Pro Football Players who became WWE Superstars

#2 Roman Reigns

The Big Dog

Currently one of the faces of the WWE and a Grand Slam Champion, Roman Reigns has enjoyed excessive success due to his time in The Shield and for being pushed excessively by the WWE’s Chairman.

Before joining the wrestling business, Reigns was also an NFL player who was destined for success in the business. He failed to get drafted in the NFL and moved to Canada joining the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos. The move didn’t last long, as Reigns then decided to put the brakes on his football career and become a wrestler.
