Roman Reigns is in the main event of WrestleMania for the seventh time. He talks about that and what the Bloodline brings to the table.
Rhea Ripley seemed ascendant three years ago at WrestleMania, but she wasn’t. Now she is in the main event of Night 1 at WrestleMania 39.Reigns hasn’t always been on top of the wrestling world. After he spent three years as a member of the popular the Shield, WWE tried to make Reigns its top babyface, the wrestling term for a good guy, in 2014 and every year after that, but fans rejected him. They wanted their favorite, usually Daniel Bryan, to get the top spot.
Things began to turn in late 2018, when Reigns, real name Joe Anoa’i, revealed he would be stepping away for a while because of a recurrence of leukemia, in which he was first diagnosed in 2007. Suddenly, a real-life situation took over the scripted storylines. Fans were in shock. Reigns was given a standing ovation after announcing it during WWE’s live “Monday Night Raw” TV show. He returned a few months later to another standing ovation, and the boos were gone.
Then his cousins, twin brothers Jimmy and Jey Uso joined, with both having to be beaten by Reigns in and outside of the ring to be convinced to join. Sami Zayn came along as an honorary member, eventually outcast for not being loyal, and cousin Solo Sikoa joined as the silent enforcer of the group.Rey Mysterio, one of the greatest masked wrestlers in history, talks about wrestling his son, Dom, and entering the WWE Hall of Fame.
“Jimmy wants a good time. He’s our social butterfly, and you can see it the way he talks. If we all go somewhere, he’s going to be the one that makes best friends while me and Jey keep to ourselves.”Mr. WrestleMania says when he knew it was time to retire and takes a tour of many of his WrestleMania matches.
“Jimmy really is the older brother. So with Jey there comes those weird, layered insecurities and that little man syndrome that Jey can have because he’s always trying to prove himself. And me and Jimmy have always been able to knock him down. That’s why he carries such a big chip on his shoulder and why he is one of the more layered characters of the Bloodline.’“Paul Heyman is the wise man,” Reigns said. “He’s been with our family since we were little guys.
