How did Roman Reigns get his name in the WWE? Know all about it

Roman Reigns is the most famous wrestler in the WWE right now. He has been the Undisputed WWE Universal champion for over 900 days and is breaking records by the day. He started off his career as part of The Shield and was very successful as the trio of Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose ran riot from 2013 to 2014.

One of the most interesting parts about Roman and his persona is his name and there is a very interesting story about how WWE came up with the name Roman Reigns. It is because he stole a part of his name from another wrestler. He always wanted to be called Roman but had difficulty with selecting his last name. There was also another wrestler in the WWE developmental territory named Calvin Reigns and he was just released from his contract. Seeing this, Roman got an idea and pitched the idea to the WWE top brass that he wanted to be called Roman Reigns.

WWE went with it and ever since then, the name Reigns has become synonymous with Roman as he has become a household name and is known to virtually all the wrestling fans throughout the world as he continues to mesmerize his fans with his in-ring ability and top mic skills.
