WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg is one of the greatest names to ever come out of World Championship Wrestling. Although he has held two world championship belts in WWE, he has never won the main title, which is the WWE Championship. In addition to pro wrestling, Goldberg has also starred in multiple films and appeared in various TV shows.

He also made appearances in UFC, all while using his real name. The WCW icon is still signed to WWE. He competed most recently at the Royal Rumble against Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship, but was unsuccessful.

Roman Reigns is a member of the Anoa'i family, making him a cousin to renowned WWE stars such as The Usos, The Rock and Umaga. He is also the son of Sika, who was a member of the Wild Samoans with his brother Afa.

Roman Reigns' ring name, which is owned by WWE, is pretty unique, and it suits him very well. During an interview, the Tribal Chief revealed how he got the moniker:

"I knew I wanted Roman," he said. "I liked Roman. I wanted Roman only and they were like, 'no, you need a last name'. And there's actually another guy in FCW by the name of Calvin Raines. He spelled it like 'rain', like a 'raindrop'. And they, I believe, released him and sorry, brother. He's a good man, a real nice brother. Sorry.

"Roman Raines sounded good to me, so they were like, 'alright, give me four or five different names' and they were like, 'okay, we'll go with like'… I was going through it and Corey Graves, he was down in FCW, still working at that time, he's actually one of my good buddies and our families are like really good friends," added Reigns. "He told me, he was like, 'hey, I heard you saying 'Roman Raines'. What if you spelled it like, 'reigns', like a king reigns.' And I was like, 'whoa, I like that.' And there you go. And total heel name too!"

Roman Reigns will undoubtedly stick with WWE until the very end. He is unquestionably a future WWE Hall of Famer.
