Roman Reigns’ journey in WWE has been a rollercoaster ride, marked by triumphs and challenges.
Despite his current reign as a top star in the Stamford-based promotion, his path to success was not without hurdles, particularly following WrestleMania 31.
At the premium live event, Reigns clashed with Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a fierce battle.
However, Seth Rollins’ unexpected cash-in altered the course of the match, leaving Reigns without the coveted title.
SOO much BS on line. I talked with Sika Monday morning, he was very proud of his son and blown away by WM, as was I, props to Taker!!!

The aftermath allegedly stirred strong emotions within Reigns’ family, with his father, Sika Anoa’i, reportedly expressing frustration towards WWE over the outcome.
Similarly, Reigns’ uncle, Afa Anoa’i, was said to be dissatisfied with the results, prompting discussions of Reigns potentially leaving WWE.
Despite the family’s concerns, Reigns handled the loss with grace, dispelling rumors of discontent within his inner circle.
Michael PS Hayes later clarified that Sika Anoa’i was impressed by the WrestleMania 31 spectacle, contrary to earlier speculation.
Reigns’ decision to persevere in WWE proved pivotal, leading to the evolution of The Bloodline storyline and the return of The Rock to WWE. The collaboration between Reigns and his cousin has charmed audiences, adding a new layer of excitement to WWE programming.
As WrestleMania XL approaches, Reigns finds himself facing another significant challenge in Seth Rollins. Their clash marks a historic first-time encounter, adding intrigue to the event’s lineup.
Moreover, WrestleMania XL’s Night One features a blockbuster tag team match pitting The Tribal Chief and The Rock against formidable opponents.
The outcome will determine the stakes for Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match against Cody Rhodes on Night Two.
Should The Rock and Reigns emerge victorious, the championship match will adhere to ‘Bloodline Rules,’ while defeat would see The Bloodline abstaining from interference. As anticipation builds for the event, Reigns’ resilience and determination continue to define his journey as a WWE powerhouse.
