Roman Reigns is another big name that WWE would never let go of, at any cost. He has been with the company for over a decade at this point. Reigns carries a rich legacy formed over the past several decades by the Anoa'i family. He worked for about two years in developmental before making his way to the main roster as part of The Shield.
Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Jon Moxley dominated the main roster for around two years before Rollins turned on his brethren and the faction became history. Thus kicked off Reigns' mega WWE push that very few have received in the past.

Roman Reigns headlined four consecutive WrestleMania main events against the likes of Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, and Triple H. He became the second wrestler to ever defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Reigns was a polarizing figure for years on end, mainly due to WWE forcibly pushing him as a top star despite fans not wanting the same. Reigns finally turned heel last year and has been doing the best work of his career since then.
Roman Reigns won the Universal title last year soon after turning heel and is still holding the belt on the SmackDown brand. He has destroyed some of WWE's best talents along the way and there's no telling who will manage to dethrone him. Reigns is one of the most popular wrestlers in the industry today and it's safe to assume that he isn't going elsewhere for a long time to come.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
