Reigns will be joining the legendary actor Burt Reynolds as part of the Reel Deals program. This news comes ahead of this weekend’s WrestleMania 40 where Roman Reigns will headline both nights.
Before transitioning as a full-time pro wrestler as Roman Reigns, Leati Joe Anoa’i had a successful football career. He initially played for Pensacola Catholic High School and then Escambia High School.
Roman Reigns’ football career
He attained further success when he started playing for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team. He eventually signed with the Minnesota Vikings but his run with the franchise soon ended when he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Later, Roman Reigns joined the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, he was let go in less than a week. Following his release from Edmonton Eskimos in the CFL, he decided to hang up his boots prematurely in November, 2009. He then transcended into the world of pro wrestling and the rest is history.
Most recently, Roman Reigns stated that hadn’t his football career ended prematurely, he wouldn’t have stepped foot inside the squared circle. Luckily, he did and we are witnessing one of the greatest championship runs in WWE history.
