5 Things WWE fans may have forgotten about Roman Reigns

#3 Roman Reigns is the youngest person to win a Slammy for "Superstar of the Year"

Roman Reigns made his main roster debut in late 2012, and it didn't take long for him to become one of the most popular acts on WWE TV. At Survivor Series 2013, he eliminated four opponents in a Classic Survivor Series match, and was the sole survivor for his team. Months later, he eliminated 12 men in the Royal Rumble match, thus creating a new record at the event. Roman Reigns was immediately given a major push after The Shield split in mid-2014.

While Dean Ambrose kicked off a feud with Seth Rollins, Reigns targeted Randy Orton and went on to defeat him at SummerSlam 2014. Reigns won that year's Slammy award for Superstar of the Year. Roman Reigns' age at the time was 29 years, six months, and 13 days. He defeated the likes of John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Dean Ambrose to bag the prize. His former associate Seth Rollins came close to breaking his record a year later, but fell short by a mere 10 days.
