Leati Joseph "Joe" Anoaʻi (Samoan pronunciation: [a.noˈaʔ.i] ah-no-AH ee; born May 25, 1985), better known by his ring name Roman Reigns, is an American professional wrestler and former football player. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand. Regarded as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world,[8][9][10][11] Reigns's 1,316-day reign as Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion is the fourth-longest world title reign in WWE history and the longest championship reign since 1988.[a]

After playing U.S. college football for Georgia Tech, Anoaʻi started a professional football career with brief off-season stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL) in 2007. He played a full season for the Canadian Football League's (CFL) Edmonton Eskimos in 2008 before his release and retirement from football. A member of the Anoaʻi wrestling family, Anoaʻi was signed by WWE in 2010 and made his main roster debut under the ring name Roman Reigns in 2012 as a member of The Shield alongside Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins: with Rollins, Reigns has held the WWE Tag Team Championship once. The trio teamed together until disbanding in 2014, after which Reigns entered singles competition.

From 2014 to 2020, WWE positioned Reigns as a heroic character and attempted to establish him as their next "face of the company", which was met with intense disapproval by audiences and critics.[12] During this period, Reigns won the WWE Championship three times, the WWE Universal Championship once, the WWE United States Championship and WWE Intercontinental Championship once each, was named Superstar of the Year at the 2014 Slammy Awards and won the Royal Rumble match in 2015. After a hiatus, Reigns was repackaged as a villainous character between 2020 and 2024,[13][14] which was generally met with acclaim by audiences and critics.[15][16] Reigns then held the WWE Championship and Universal Championship simultaneously, being recognized as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

Reigns has headlined numerous pay-per-view events, including WWE's flagship event, WrestleMania, a record nine times.[17][18] Reigns holds the joint-record for most eliminations in a Survivor Series match (4) and held the previous record for most eliminations in a Royal Rumble match (12). He is also WWE's 28th Triple Crown Champion and 17th Grand Slam Champion and was ranked at No. 1 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's annual PWI 500 list of the top 500 singles wrestlers in 2016 and 2022.[19]

After going undrafted in the 2007 NFL draft, Anoaʻi was signed by the Minnesota Vikings in May 2007. He was diagnosed with leukemia after his team physical and was released later that month.[29][30][31] The Jacksonville Jaguars signed him in August 2007, only to release Anoaʻi less than a week later before the start of the 2007 NFL season.[29] In 2008, he was signed by the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League (CFL).[7] Wearing the number 99, Anoaʻi played for one season with the Eskimos, featuring in five games, of which he started three.[7][24] Anoaʻi's most notable game came against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in September, where he tied for the team lead with five tackles and had a forced fumble.[32] Anoaʻi was released by the Eskimos on November 10, and proceeded to retire from professional football.[7]

"Reigns was a greener-than-grass wrestler who WWE identified as the Face of the Performance Center Machine – taking raw talent without the "bad habits" from the independents and trying to manufacture a WrestleMania Main-Eventer".

James Caldwell of the Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter in February 2015 on Reigns's background compared to that of his Shield teammates[104]

He was replaced by Kurt Angle and The Shield went on to win the match.[175]

This set up a match at Extreme Rules on July 15, where Lashley was victorious.[194] The following night on Raw, two triple threat matches were set to determine Lesnar's challenger for SummerSlam. Reigns and Lashley won their respective matches, setting up a number one contender's match between the two the following week,[195][196] which Reigns won.[197] At SummerSlam on August 19, Reigns defeated Lesnar and won the Universal Championship for the first time in his career.[198] Reigns went on to reignite his feud with Braun Strowman, who was the Money in the Bank holder.[199] Strowman would also ally himself with Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre in order to challenge The Shield.[200] Reigns then faced Strowman at Hell in a Cell on September 16 in a Hell in a Cell match, which ended in a no contest after Brock Lesnar returned and attacked both men.[201] On October 6 at Super Show-Down, The Shield defeated Strowman, Ziggler and McIntyre in a six-man tag team match[202] before losing to them in a rematch on Raw two nights later.[203]

Following this announcement, Reigns would go on an indefinite hiatus to receive treatment.[205][206] Reigns was first diagnosed in May 2007 when he was signed to the Minnesota Vikings, and went into remission around two years after the initial diagnosis.[207]

Return from leukemia (2019–2020)

Reigns in May 2019

On February 25, 2019, Reigns made his return to Raw, revealing that his leukemia was once again in remission to a huge ovation from the crowd. Later in the night, Reigns and Rollins would appear to assist Ambrose from an attack by Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Elias, and Baron Corbin.[208] The following week on Raw, Ambrose assisted Reigns and Rollins from another attack by the four, before the trio performed their signature pose, officially reuniting the group for the third time.[209] The Shield defeated the team of McIntyre, Lashley, and Corbin at Fastlane on March 10.[210] On the March 25 episode of Raw, Reigns accepted a challenge from McIntyre for a match at WrestleMania 35.[211] At the event on April 7, Reigns was successful in defeating McIntyre.[212]

During the 2019 WWE Superstar Shake-up, Reigns was drafted to the SmackDown brand on the April 16 episode of SmackDown, with WWE's announcers describing Reigns as "SmackDown's greatest ever acquisition", as well as the future of SmackDown and WWE. During the episode, Reigns attacked Elias and Vince McMahon.[213] The following week, Elias challenged Reigns to a match at Money in the Bank on May 19 which Reigns accepted[214] and also won.[215] On the May 20 episode of Raw, Reigns, who appeared via the wild card rule, was interrupted by Shane McMahon, who was still bothered by Reigns' earlier attack on his father. Reigns then challenged Shane to a match at Super ShowDown, which the latter accepted.[216] At Super ShowDown on June 7, Reigns lost to McMahon after interference from McIntyre.[217] Reigns defeated McIntyre at Stomping Grounds on June 23, despite interference from McMahon.[218] The following night on Raw, Reigns was saved by The Undertaker from an assault from McMahon and McIntyre.[219] Reigns and Undertaker teamed up to defeat McMahon and McIntyre in a No Holds Barred tag team match at Extreme Rules on July 14.[220]

On the July 30 episode of SmackDown, an unidentified person pushed lighting equipment on Reigns.[221] The following week, Reigns was again targeted by the attacker as he was a victim of a hit and run.[222] After ruling out Samoa Joe[222] and Buddy Murphy as suspects, Reigns next investigated Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan due to testimony from Murphy and seemingly incriminating video footage.[223] However, Bryan revealed the attacker as a man who merely resembled Rowan.[224] Nonetheless, Reigns found additional footage that showed Rowan pushing over the equipment. Rowan then admitted that it was him and admitted that he was responsible for the hit and run as well.[225][226] This caused Bryan and Rowan to split due to Rowan lying, and a no disqualification match between Reigns and Rowan was scheduled for Clash of Champions on September 15,[226][227] which Rowan won after interference from a returning Luke Harper.[228] Reigns would later defeat Rowan in a lumberjack match on the 20th Anniversary of SmackDown[229] and subsequently team with Bryan to defeat Rowan and Harper at Hell in a Cell on October 6 in a tornado tag team match to end the feud.[230] At Crown Jewel on October 31, Reigns was part of Team Hogan (alongside Rusev, Ricochet, Shorty G, and Ali), defeating Team Flair (Randy Orton, King Corbin, Bobby Lashley, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Drew McIntyre).[231]

In November, Reigns began a feud with King Corbin and his allies Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode.[232] Reigns was named team captain for SmackDown at Survivor Series on November 24,[233] where he and his four teammates defeated Team Raw and Team NXT in a five-on-five-on-five tag team elimination match. During the match, Corbin caused Mustafa Ali to be eliminated. Reigns responded by spearing Corbin and allowing him to be eliminated.[234] This led to a tables, ladders, and chairs match being arranged for the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view on December 15,[235] which Reigns lost after interference from Ziggler and The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson).[236] At the Royal Rumble on January 26, 2020, Reigns defeated Corbin in a falls count anywhere match, after receiving assistance from The Usos. Later that night, he entered the Royal Rumble match, but was the last competitor eliminated by the eventual winner Drew McIntyre.[237] At Super ShowDown on February 27, Reigns defeated Corbin in a steel cage match to end their feud.[238]

The following night on SmackDown, Reigns challenged Goldberg for the Universal Championship, leading to a match between the two being set up for WrestleMania 36.[239] However, on April 3, it was announced that Braun Strowman would replace Reigns at the event, after Reigns pulled out of the event amid concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and his being immunocompromised from his leukemia.[240][241] Following WrestleMania, Reigns continued to remain absent from WWE programming in the midst of the pandemic, telling Hindustan Times: "For me, I just had to make a choice for my family. The company (WWE) has done everything that they can to make it the safest work environment possible. It is not the workplace that I was necessarily concerned about. The decision was taken mainly because each performer travels so much, and we are all such a diverse group and from all over the place. I'm not convinced, and I can't trust the fact that everybody is taking it as seriously and locking themselves down at home like I am. I trust my life with my co-workers every time I step foot in the ring, but I just can't put the same trust when it has my children, my wife, and my family involved."[242] It was later claimed by Paul Heyman that Reigns officially considered himself retired from professional wrestling during this period.[243]

The Tribal Chief (2020–2024)

Main article: The Bloodline
From August 2020 till April 2024, Reigns held the Universal Championship, becoming the longest-reigning title holder in the championship's history and the longest-reigning champion in company history since 1988.[244]

Following a five-month hiatus, Reigns returned at SummerSlam on August 23, attacking the new Universal Champion "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, and Braun Strowman after their match for the title.[245] On the following SmackDown, Reigns aligned himself with his new manager, Paul Heyman, turning heel for the first time since 2014.[246] At Payback on August 30, Reigns defeated defending champion The Fiend and Strowman in a No Holds Barred Triple Threat match to win the Universal Championship for the second time.[247]

Reigns then began a rivalry with his cousin Jey Uso.[248] In his first championship defense at Clash of Champions on September 27, Reigns retained the title against Jey Uso by technical knockout, after Reigns viciously beat down Jey, and Jimmy Uso threw in the towel.[249] After this, Reigns granted Jey a rematch at the Hell in a Cell event, and the match was later confirmed as a Hell in a Cell match, with the added stipulation of being an "I Quit" match.[250][251][252] In the middle of the rivalry with Jey, Reigns successfully defended his title against Strowman on the October 16 episode of SmackDown.[253] At Hell in a Cell on October 25, Reigns made Jey quit after attacking the injured Jimmy, thus retaining his title.[254] Due to the loss, Jey was ordered to follow Reigns' commands and address him as "The Tribal Chief", thus turning him into a villainous character.[255]

At Survivor Series on November 22, Reigns defeated Raw's WWE Champion Drew McIntyre in a Champion vs. Champion match,[256] before beginning a feud with Kevin Owens, after Reigns believed Owens to be disrespecting his family.[257][258] Reigns successfully defended the title against Owens in a TLC match at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs on December 20,[259][260] in a Steel Cage match on the December 25 episode of SmackDown,[261] and in a Last Man Standing match at the Royal Rumble on January 31, 2021, respectively.[262] Reigns then retained his title against Daniel Bryan at both Elimination Chamber on February 21 and Fastlane on March 21.[263][264] At this time, Reigns would also feud with Edge, who had won the Royal Rumble match.[265] In the main event of the second night of WrestleMania 37 on April 11, Reigns defeated Bryan and Edge in a triple threat match to retain the Universal Championship after assistance from Jey.[266] On the April 30 episode of SmackDown, Reigns defeated Bryan in a championship vs. career match, which resulted in Bryan being forced to leave SmackDown.[267]

Reigns' next challenger for the championship was Cesaro,[268] whom Reigns defeated at WrestleMania Backlash on May 16.[269] Afterwards, Reigns initiated a rivalry with Rey Mysterio, after Reigns brutalized Mysterio's son Dominik.[270] The two faced off for the championship in a Hell in a Cell match on the June 18 episode of SmackDown,[271] with Reigns emerging as the victor.[272] On the June 25 episode of SmackDown, while addressing his victory over Mysterio, Reigns was attacked by the returning Edge,[273] leading to a title match between the two at Money in the Bank on July 18,[274] where Reigns retained with the assistance of Seth Rollins. After the match, Reigns was confronted by a returning John Cena.[275] Over the following weeks, Cena challenged Reigns for a title match at SummerSlam,[276] and after initially rejecting Cena's challenge,[277] a match was made official for the two at the event.[278] At the event on August 21, Reigns defeated Cena to retain the title.[279] Immediately after the match, Reigns would be confronted by a returning Brock Lesnar.[279] After that, Reigns begins a rivalry with Finn Bálor, successfully defending his title against him on the September 3 episode of SmackDown,[280] and in an Extreme Rules match at Extreme Rules on September 26 with Bálor in his Demon persona.[281] On October 21, at Crown Jewel, Reigns successfully defended his title against Brock Lesnar, again with the help of The Usos.[282] On November 8, it was announced that Reigns would face WWE Champion Big E at Survivor Series in a Champion vs. Champion match,[283] with Reigns emerging victorious at the event on November 21.[284]

On the December 3 episode of SmackDown, Reigns successfully defended his title against Sami Zayn after Lesnar attacked Zayn.[285] On the December 17 episode of SmackDown, Reigns fired Heyman as his manager due to Heyman's past association with Lesnar.[286] Reigns was scheduled to defend his title against Lesnar at the Day 1 event on January 1, 2022,[285] but the match was canceled as a result of Reigns testing positive for COVID-19.[287] On January 16, Reigns surpassed Lesnar's 503-day reign to become the longest reigning Universal Champion, in turn having the sixth longest world championship reign in the company's history.[288] On January 29 at the Royal Rumble event, Reigns defended the championship against Seth "Freakin" Rollins, losing the match by disqualification; however championships cannot change hands by disqualification, thus Reigns retained the title. Later that same night, he interfered in the WWE Championship match between Lesnar and Bobby Lashley, re-uniting with Heyman to cause the upset victory for Lashley to regain the championship.[289] During the same night, Lesnar would win the Royal Rumble and eventually challenge Reigns to a match in the main event of WrestleMania 38, marking the third time Reigns would face Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania.[290]

On the February 4 episode of SmackDown, Goldberg would make his return to challenge Reigns to a match at Elimination Chamber for the title a match two years in the making after their match at WrestleMania 36 was called off due to Reigns taking a hiatus.[291] At the event on February 19, Reigns defeated Goldberg via technical submission to retain the title.[292] On the second night of WrestleMania 38 on April 3, he defeated Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship for a fourth time and also became the first superstar to hold both the WWE Championship and WWE Universal Championship simultaneously and be recognized as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.[293] It was reported that the WrestleMania main event was cut short due to Reigns sustaining an arm injury.[294] At WrestleMania Backlash on May 8, Reigns and The Usos defeated RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle) and McIntyre in a six-man tag team match.[295]

On the June 17 episode of SmackDown, Reigns successfully defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Riddle, but after the match, he was attacked by a returning Brock Lesnar to renew their rivalry and set up a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam on July 30,[296][297] in which Reigns won, ending their 7-year feud.[298] At Clash at the Castle on September 3, Reigns successfully retained the titles against Drew McIntyre following interference from the debuting Solo Sikoa.[299] At Crown Jewel on November 5, Reigns successfully retained the titles against Logan Paul.[300] Three weeks later at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 26, Reigns, along with The Bloodline, defeated Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens and The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland and Butch) in a WarGames match.[301]

Reigns (center) with The Bloodline at the Royal Rumble in 2023.

On January 18, 2023, his Universal Championship reign reached 871 days breaking Gunther's NXT UK Championship reign of 870 days, giving him the longest reign of any WWE championship since 1988.[244] At the Royal Rumble on January 28, Reigns successfully defended the titles against Kevin Owens for the fourth time. Following the match, Sami Zayn would turn on The Bloodline, smashing Reigns with a chair.[302] Cody Rhodes, who won the 2023 Royal Rumble, earned a match against Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39.[303][304] At Elimination Chamber on February 18, Reigns successfully retained the titles against Sami Zayn.[305] At Night 2 of WrestleMania 39, Reigns entered his seventh WrestleMania main event to a symphony of pianos.[306] During the match, The Usos attempted to intervene, however, Rhodes was rescued by Zayn and Owens. Ultimately, Reigns successfully retained the titles against Rhodes after interference from Sikoa.[307] This event marked the first time that any champion defended the same championship three WrestleManias in a row.[308]

At Night of Champions on May 27, Reigns and Sikoa unsuccessfully challenged Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. During the match, The Usos interfered and accidentally attacked Sikoa while aiming for Zayn. The subsequent sequence of events culminated in Jimmy Uso attacking Reigns, and The Usos walking away from The Bloodline.[309] It was on this day as well, that Reigns hit 1,000 days as Universal Champion,[310] the first to do so in over thirty-five years, and only the fifth wrestler ever to accomplish the feat with a world championship in the history of WWE. On June 24, Reigns reached 1,028 days as Universal Champion, passing Pedro Morales' reign of 1,027 days with the WWE Championship (at the time known as the WWWF Heavyweight Championship), giving Reigns the fifth longest world championship reign in company history.[311] At Money in the Bank on July 1, Reigns and Sikoa faced The Usos in a "Bloodline Civil War" tag team match, where Reigns was pinned by Jey, making this his first pinfall loss since December 2019.[312] At SummerSlam, a returning Jimmy, who was injured by Reigns weeks back, betrayed Jey to allow Reigns to pick up the win to stay as champion and the Tribal Chief.[313] At Crown Jewel on November 4, Reigns successfully defended the titles against LA Knight.[314] At Royal Rumble on January 27, 2024, Reigns defeated Knight, Randy Orton and AJ Styles, who Reigns pinned, to retain the titles in a fatal four-way match.[315]

Reigns (extreme left) and The Rock face to face with Cody Rhodes and Seth "Freakin" Rollins before their tag team match at WrestleMania XL.

At WrestleMania XL Night 1, Reigns and The Rock won the tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to enforce Bloodline Rules.[316] On WrestleMania XL Night 2, Reigns lost the titles to Rhodes ending his second record setting Universal Championship reign at 1,316 days and ending his fourth WWE Championship reign at 735 days.[317]

The O.T.C (2024–present)

After losing the titles, Reigns took time off from television and Sikoa was appointed himself as the de facto leader of The Bloodline. The formation changed when Jimmy was kicked out of the group and The Tongans (Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa), the sons of Haku, as well as Jacob Fatu, the son of the Tonga Kid, were included into the stable.[318][319][320] On the April 26 episode of SmackDown, Paul Heyman informed fans that Reigns voluntarily withdrew from the 2024 WWE Draft.[321] After weeks of bypassing Reigns' orders in storyline and ousting Heyman from the group, Sikoa removed Reigns from the leadership of The Bloodline and the group altogether, declaring himself as the new "Tribal Chief".[322]

Following a four-month hiatus, on August 3, Reigns made his return at SummerSlam under the new moniker "The O.T.C" ("The Only Tribal Chief" or "The Original Tribal Chief"), attacking Sikoa, and helping Rhodes retain his title in a Bloodline Rules match, turning face for the first time since 2020.[323] On the September 13 episode of SmackDown, Reigns and Rhodes agreed to team up against the Bloodline (specifically Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu) at Bad Blood.[324] During the event, Reigns and Rhodes were victorious following interference from the returning Jimmy Uso.[325] On the October 25 episode of SmackDown, Reigns along with the reunited Usos cost The Tongans the WWE Tag Team Championships, setting up a six-man tag match at Crown Jewel against Sikoa, Tonga and Fatu, which they lost.[326] At Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30, Reigns, Usos, Sami Zayn and CM Punk defeated The Bloodline and Bronson Reed in a WarGames match, with Reigns pinning Sikoa.[327] On the December 13 episode of SmackDown, Reigns challenged Sikoa for the Ula Fala and Tribal Chief title in Tribal Combat on the WWE Raw debut episode on Netflix.[328]
