Mini bio
Before the ring.
Leati Joseph Anoaʻi came to wrestling after football. He was a three-year starter at Georgia Tech, served as a senior-year team captain and earned first-team All-ACC recognition. He signed with WWE in 2010 and developed in Florida Championship Wrestling.
The Shield arrives.
On November 18, 2012, Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose interrupted Survivor Series to make their WWE main-roster debut. As The Shield’s enforcer, Reigns found his first major audience before moving into singles competition.
The Tribal Chief.
His 2020 return brought a new character, an alliance with Paul Heyman and The Bloodline’s family drama. He became WWE’s longest-reigning Universal Champion and beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 to also capture the WWE Championship. In 2026, he won the Royal Rumble and defeated CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Beyond WWE.
Reigns has also taken his presence to film and games: he appeared as Luke Hobbs’ brother in Hobbs & Shaw, fronted WWE 2K25 and played Akuma in Street Fighter.
