It's common knowledge that Roman Reigns had a career in American football before successfully transitioning over to the world of professional wrestling.

However, there was a period of time in-between leaving football and signing for WWE where Reigns had no income coming in to support his young daughter. So, Reigns got his head down and began to work for his sister's business, which involved him working 9-5 and installing office furniture.

Reigns' cousins Jimmy and Jey Uso also had similar occupations before breaking out as WWE superstars.

The brothers would wake up early and let trucks into a warehouse at 6am, before setting up around ten cubicles a day in an office for their uncle.

The pair eventually ceased working for that particular uncle after their other uncle Umaga walked into a bar one day after work. He offered them the chance to drive with him to Houston and become professional wrestlers.

Needless to say, the uncle they were working under wasn't best pleased with their decision, but this spur of the moment choice set the wrestling ball rolling for the pair and they now boast an impressive 6 WWE Tag Team Championship reigns.
