WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is heading to WrestleMania 37 to defend his title against the 2021 Royal Rumble winner Edge. The Tribal Chief's success, however, is not just limited to the squared circle.

Reigns graduated with a management degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Following a college football run, the Universal Champion tried to make it to the National Football League (NFL) but did not succeed. He later found his way to WWE.

The Big Dog is one of the most successful WWE Superstars today. Reigns is a five-time World Champion and a former Intercontinental and United States Champion.

The Tribal Chief never worked with his management degree, but the Universal Champion gave an interesting answer to Rolling Stone regarding if he would have done so. Reigns expressed his desire to manage Brock Lesnar if he was to work with his degree.


#5. WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E

Big E is the current Intercontinental Champion. He has established himself as one of the top superstars in WWE today. A few years before his triumph in the WWE ring, Big E tasted academic success.

According to The Miami Herald, Big E graduated with a college degree in Health & Sports studies from the University of Iowa.

In an interview with The Gazzette, the Intercontinental Champion spoke about his academic background.

"I got my teaching certificate and at one point was employed by the university (...) I was making plans to finish up my Masters and work on a Ph.D. I was in line to spend another five years at Iowa. Actually, what I wanted to be was an athletic director. That’s slightly different from what I’m doing now."

Big E still awaits to meet his opponent at WrestleMania. He hopes to break his 0-4 winless streak on the Grandest Stage of Them All to retain his title.
