Controversies • In 2010, he was arrested in Pensacola, Florida for appearing drunk in public place and getting involved in a fight. He was subsequently released on $1,000 bond and charged with $500 for each offense.

• In 2016, Roman Reigns was charged with violating the WWE Wellness Policy. As a result, he was suspended for 30 days. WWE doesn’t usually make the names of the drugs public, so, we might never know what Roman Reigns consumed. Richard Rodriguez, the now-imprisoned former owner of the Wellness Fitness Nutrition company of Miami, named Reigns, and few other celebrities, as his former client, but Reigns denied the statement by saying, “I have never heard of Richard Rodriguez or Wellness Fitness Nutrition. I learned from the mistake I made nearly two years ago and paid the penalty for it. Since then, I’ve passed 11 tests as part of WWE’s independent drug testing program.”

Notably, Reigns recorded an impressive 40 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks during that season. Throughout his time at Georgia Tech, he accumulated a total of 29.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. Roman Reigns proudly maintains his affiliation with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

  • Once he retired from his football career, he made the bold choice to pursue a professional wrestling career and carry on his family’s legacy.

Positioned on his wrist, he proudly displays a turtle tattoo, which symbolizes the values of family, well-being, long life, and serenity in the Samoan culture. This permanent mark serves as a testament to Reigns’ unwavering commitment towards his daughter, as he once stated, “As any father would affirm, my ultimate mission in life is to safeguard her.”
  • He is a WWE Superstar who has generated extreme division among fans, often facing boos and trolling when appearing in the WWE arena. Despite being positioned as the face of WWE following John Cena, he receives significant criticism from fans.
