Roman Reigns, known as the Original Tribal Chief, is the biggest box office draw in the current WWE roster. He recently made his return to WWE programming after losing his Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam 2024 and after a confrontation with Solo Sikoa.
Reigns is deeply invested in the Bloodline saga, which centers around the rivalry for the Tribal Chief title and the coveted Ula Fala Necklace. While he embodies the islander persona, Roman Reigns’ actual ethnicity is a blend of Samoan and Italian heritage.
Roman Reigns' real name is Leati Joseph Anoa’i. He hails from the prestigious Anoa’i family, also known as the Samoan Dynasty, which has produced wrestling legends including Yokozuna, Umaga, Rikishi, The Rock, and The Usos. Born on May 25, 1985, to Samoan father Sika Anoa’i and Italian mother Patricia A. Anoa’i, Reigns exemplifies a unique blend of strength and appearance derived from his diverse heritage.
Roman Reigns’ return at SummerSlam 2024 is now regarded as one of the best in history. His comeback surpassed the social media impact of Edge and CM Punk’s returns, with Reigns’ merchandise selling out within hours. SummerSlam 2024 was a must-see event, featuring exceptional wrestling and storytelling. Here’s a compilation of the matches and their results:
1. Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan ( WWE Women's World Heavyweight Championship Match): Liv Morgan retains after Dominik Mysterio backstabbed Rhea Ripley and helped Morgan.
