Roman Reigns is perhaps the most bonafide main-eventer in the history of WWE. He was the key figure of selling out four consecutive Wrestlemania shows that anybody could have ever thought of. His predecessors like Stone Cold, The Rock or John Cena did not earn the same accolade during their prime.

Roman Reigns to receive a shocking Wrestlemania opponent at Fastlane
If not for the Leukemia disease, then we’d have seen him being the main event of Wrestlemania for the 5th straight year in a row. But it has been taken over by the women superstars of the WWE. Speaking of this brings us to a very special moment shared by Roman Reigns himself from Wrestlemania 34.
As we all know, The Big Dog faced Brock Lesnar on that night for the Universal Championship. He came up short after taking the beast incarnate to the absolute limit. But moreover, he sold out a crowd of more than 70000 fans and delivered another successful main event match. So he had to be one special moment from the show.
While speaking in Wrestlemania 36 press conference, Roman Reigns disclosed that heart touching moment to the WWE Universe. Surprisingly it was neither related to the wrestling stuff nor to the fans but around his family. Here’s the shared story by the poster boy of the WWE, (transcripted by Wrestlezone)
“I was coming back to the TV hotel and I was going through the green room, just to check in and make sure I was done for the day. I saw my sons running, screaming through the green room in a giant banquet room, wide open. And I saw my daughter chasing them across that green floor.
That was probably the proudest moment I had from last year’s WrestleMania. It wasn’t being in that main event. It wasn’t selling out the [Mercedes-Benz] Superdome. It was that small moment seeing that smile on my children’s faces.”
This is the generous side of Roman Reigns that makes him the franchise player of the WWE by all means. Children love him all around the globe that automatically bills him as the most polarizing figure in the world of pro-wrestling.
As stated earlier, Roman Reigns could have been the main event guy once again at Wrestlemania 35. But Leukemia snatched that chance away from him. But he could return to the slot when the next edition gets hosted. It will take place at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida which is his home state. So seeing him in the front of the posters is certain.
