10 Things You Didn't Know About Roman Reigns

10. He Grew Up In The Business

It's common knowledge that Reigns is part of the famous Samoan wrestling dynasty, which stretches back in WWE for decades and in the sport for even longer. His lineage is mentioned on TV every time he appears alongside his cousins, former WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso. His immediate family has made a mark in WWE, as well - his father is former WWE Tag Team Champion Sika, and his older brother Matt wrestled for the company as Rosey.

Still, Roman Reigns is more than just the latest champion in a family that happened to have a lot of wrestlers - the sport was all around him as a child. Growing up in Pensacola, Florida, Reigns had a wrestling ring in the backyard where - as he described it - men like Yokozuna and Rikishi would practice their art. Reigns and The Usos were exposed to all of that pretty much from birth, and they knew they were destined to be a part of it.
