What is Roman Reigns' real name?
Almost every professional wrestling fan around the world knows who Roman Reigns is. But as is the case with most WWE Superstars, Roman Reigns is not the real name of the man behind this gimmick. Triple H may not have become such an iconic character if he'd gone with his actual name (Paul Levesque), and the same holds for CM Punk (Phil Brooks). In pretty much the same way, Roman Reigns is an on-screen character that has become an integral part of WWE's weekly programming. Now, let's learn about the man who portrays this popular character and what his real name is. Roman Reigns hails from the Anoa'i Family  Roman Reigns' storylines revolve around bloodlines so frequently because he hails from the Anoa'i family  a Samoan dynasty that has given WWE and the wrestling world so many prominent names. From his father Sika to his brother Rosey, Umaga, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and of course, The Usos, this is the first family of the wrestling world. It is Leati Joseph Anoa'i, and you may have heard it referenced before. Those haunting words still ring in the ears, hearts, and minds of wrestling fans to this day:  "My real name is Joe and I've been living with leukemia for 11 years," said Reigns during the October 22, 2018, edition of RAW. In honor of #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay, I caught up with my friends Gio, Savanna, Hunter, Connor and King for a virtual reunion. We met in 2019 to support the LLS children initiatives to help find better treatments and provide support to patients and their families. #NCSD2021 pic.twitter.com/H8uk5eSAhJ  Roman Reigns (@WWERomanReigns) June 6, 2021  It's very interesting to check out his name that's been used in the credits for "Hobbs & Shaw" (2019), the movie that Roman Reigns was a part of with The Rock. In the film, he's been credited as Joe 'Roman Reigns' Anoa'i. Whatever name you know him by, it is impossible to deny that Roman Reigns is one of the most talented WWE stars.
