Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our “Head of the Table” Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

Roman Reigns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/] has been a champion for 1150+ days now. Recently, LA Knight took a shot at the champ but failed to capture the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. The fans were hopeful that he would get another shot at The Head of the Table but that won’t be happening anymore. WON recently released the news that Knight is out of the title picture. Reigns’ next match is going to take place at the 2024 Royal Rumble, but Knight will not be his opponent. So then, who might be the next challenger for Reigns’ belts? WHO WILL CHALLENGE ROMAN REIGNS NEXT? WON [https://www.f4wonline.com/] recently reported, ” We were told that as of this time, Reigns vs. Knight is not the title match at Rumble. That is Reigns’ next match. There are those who feel it should be Knight in that spot, but we were told Levesque has another plan right now.” Since Knight is no longer in the title picture, there are other top names in the promotion that might get a chance to take down Reigns. AJ Styles [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/aj-styles/] and Sheamus are two superstars supposed to make a return soon after recovering from their injuries. Both are under SmackDown, which makes them the perfect challengers for The Tribal Chief. Let’s not forget that Randy Orton [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/randy-orton/] is also returning and since WWE hasn’t drafted him to any brand, he might easily be associated in a rivalry with Reigns. 

LA Knight is confirmed to be removed from the title picture; who might be next
in the line to potentially dethrone Roman Reigns?

A 9-year-old girl from a small town dreamed of being a WWE wrestler one day.
Yeah, that girl is me. But the irony of the situation was that I was skinny.
Little did I know that I would relive my WWE dream through writing. As a young
WWE fan, I was intrigued to watch John Cena preach “Hustle Loyalty and Respect”
while being equally immersed the vicious deeds of “The Viper” Randy Orton. At
EssentiallySports, I have been able to write about these two stars and more
covering their lives in and outside the ring. I wrote about Cena’s thunderous
return to WWE at Money in The Bank and I patiently wait for the day when I will
get to write about Randy Orton’s 15 world title win. Other than that you can
find me cuddled up in bed with my books (only fiction) and read them until my
eyes give out. Drop a message to me on my LinkedIn:

<h2>AJ Styles 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
There are very few who can say that they are more accomplished than AJ Styles in the field of professional wrestling. ?The Phenomenal One? had seen and done it all even before <span style="font-weight: 400">joining Vince McMahon?s promotion, WWE</span><span style="font-weight: 400">.?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d1/88/c6/d188c6f59d23c6b24e60e99b8a147174.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

With an array of skills, talents, and experience beyond his years, AJ Styles is inarguably one of WWE?s biggest assets. His performances have been lauded by WWE legends including The Undertaker himself.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Before finally making it to WWE, Styles had a long career as a professional wrestler through various promotions. Everyone already knew who AJ Styles was.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/a9/63/20a9632eee57a35967eb541b449fdb4b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h2>
<h3>Early Career<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
At the young age of 21, Styles entered the world of professional wrestling. He wrestled for NWA-based promotions and less notable promotions with a masked gimmick.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9_s/public/video/thumb/2016/01/AJstyles_inferno_012716.png" alt="" width="640" height="360" data-noaft="1" />

However, natural talent saw Styles rise up the pecking order. His performances soon caught the eye of WCW, and the company even offered him a contract.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles appeared on one episode of Nitro, where he lost a tag team match in an ongoing tournament. He later appeared for a WWF tryout but was not offered a contract despite winning his match.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestleview.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/aj-styles-in-nwa-wildside.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="394" data-noaft="1" />

He was once more offered a choice to continue in WWF but had to relocate to a development territory in another state.

Due to the interference with his wife?s college schedule, Styles turned down the offer and continued wrestling on the independent scene.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>ROH<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
Styles got a foothold in ROH by quickly rising to the top of approval ratings. He was used as the main card performer and had several championship shots.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.imgur.com/fzzlJr3.jpg" alt="" width="564" height="376" data-noaft="1" />

Styles competed across various formats, engaging in major singles feuds as well as Tag Team ones. Attracting a lot of eyeballs to the nascent promotion, Styles had a major showdown with a young CM Punk.

He managed to beat Punk twice, with the second match involving Ricky Steamboat as Guest Referee.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/aj-styles-cm-punk-8.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="500" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>TNA<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h3>
AJ Styles took his popularity to another level at TNA where he made ripples into waves. Quickly making his presence felt, Styles became the first X-Division Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/aj-styles-x-division-champion-1931392-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

Unlike other belts, it was the wrestler that made the belt known, and Styles elevated the status of the X Division Championship. He went on to conquer a series of belts during his time in TNA.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

?The Phenomenal One? found himself alongside WWE legends such as Kurt Angle, Booker T, Jeff Hardy, and Christian. He would also compete with future stars such as Samoa Joe.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestlerant.com/uploads/5/7/3/2/5732092/9217654_orig.jpg?342" alt="" width="750" height="500" data-noaft="1" />

While the former WWE stars like Jeff Hardy often took the driver's seat, Styles proved his mettle time and again by giving them wrestling of the highest quality.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

He even had a memorable Tag Team run with Kurt Angle and was widely praised for his work then. Styles was the face of TNA at one point and became the dominant Champion during all his reigns.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ajstyles-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

While Styles had a lot of forgettable moments like being the protege of Ric Flair, he was a star and a living legend in TNA. His work with former WWE Superstars got him a lot of attention from the fans and critics.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

AJ Styles had a number of appearances in Mexican and Japanese Wrestling promotions as part of TNA partnerships that further elevated his skills. The diversity of moves at his disposal increased.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/aj-styles-jeff-hardy-488-600x375.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="375" data-noaft="1" />

After nearly 12 years at TNA, Styles parted ways with the promotion. There were reports that negotiations had broken down early on. Styles later revealed that the new contract offer <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-they-wanted-me-to-take-less-money-aj-styles-reveals-why-he-parted-ways-with-tna/">involved</a>?reducing his salary by 60%.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>Return to ROH, NJPW, and Independent Scene</h3>
Styles briefly returned to ROH for two years and began competing regularly. He also competed in the Independent scene during this time and worked every chance he got.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://d2isjg8ovcm7q0.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/roh_slider/public/aj1.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="691" data-noaft="1" />

Appearing across various promotions, Styles made it to Chikara, CZW, and Revolution Pro Wrestling. He took his services to England as well where he had a match against Lionheart.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles even went all the way to Japan to compete in the NJPW. There, he beat Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura respectively to become a two-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CkcWNz8I58k/Vx0vqmL3yoI/AAAAAAAAAU4/1UT5iw4iG7o78Hdt3GKz6dM82ija8TUVQCLcB/s1600/AJ-Styles-IWGP.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" data-noaft="1" />

At this point, ?The Phenomenal One? had developed top-level skills and different wrestling styles. In fact, he was being recognized as the best professional wrestler in the world.

He was beyond his time in experience and finally caught the eye of WWE who immediately sought his services.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>WWE</h3>
AJ Styles finally found himself in the biggest scene at WWE. Styles made an epic <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubZR-cfkSDQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debut</a> at Royal Rumble in 2016 which earned him one of the biggest crowd pops in WWE history.

The debut was named the best of the decade by WWE.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/2019/02/ajstyles--1dc3279de967216d4f52838f36f379aa.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Styles went on to be a major PPV contender and ignited a feud against Chris Jericho himself as his first major storyline. Styles went on to make an explosive first appearance at WrestleMania, where he faced off against Jericho.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles then set his sights on the gold. After defeating John Cena twice in two dream matches, Styles went on to challenge Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley) for his WWE World Championship. After a 140 day-reign, Styles lost the title to Cena, ending their feud.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/07/ena-styles.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=960&amp;quality=100" alt="" width="960" height="540" data-noaft="1" />

?The New Face of WWE? then went on to have a memorable feud against Shane McMahon that went on to WrestleMania 33 and a successive feud with Kevin Owens in which Styles ended up winning the United States Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>
<h3>Year-long WWE Championship reign</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/zpQSX8OEpdW9rX_qrDZgqqRN4yc=/0x0:1200x675/1200x800/filters:focal(751x247:943x439)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/58020967/180_COC_12172017ej_4966__c9809ba566b8290d943700769ca176b0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" data-noaft="1" />

AJ Styles managed to win the WWE Championship once more by taking down Jinder Mahal. He then went on to the biggest challenge of his career in Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

?The Phenomenal One? gave fans the best showdown they had witnessed in recent years as he faced ?The Beast Incarnate? Brock Lesnar.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/4b/b8/004bb8a0f9571b51a9d938c0aa39a05b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" data-noaft="1" />

Despite being the visible underdog in the match, Styles did his best damage and surprised a lot of fans. Unfortunately, the relentless force in Lesnar overpowered Styles. The loss was actually a win, as AJ Styles was now known far and wide for his talent.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

The Superstar went on to hold the WWE Championship for over a year. He lost the title against Daniel Bryan on an episode of SmackDown, ending his reign at a massive 371 days.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Styles.png" alt="" width="920" height="615" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Feud with The Undertaker</h3>
Styles found himself at a new height when he ignited a feud against The Undertaker himself. ?The Deadman? neared the end of his career, and Styles in his heel role was becoming the talk of the WWE Universe.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OX1OFJhJGa8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

The two had a long feud that was supposed to end at Clash of Champions but went on to WrestleMania! AJ Styles fought ?The Deadman? in the first-ever Cinematic match and made his mark in WWE history.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Later, The Undertaker announced his retirement from WWE. This meant that AJ Styles is the last man to ever face ?The Deadman?, a fitting end to a long and illustrious career. This is yet another badge on the brilliant run of Styles.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://fansided.com/files/2020/04/WM36_HM_28886.jpg" alt="" width="3871" height="2581" data-noaft="1" />

The Intercontinental Championship found Styles tussling with Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy in a feud that would end up in Zayn?s favor. Styles was then drafted to Raw, the brand on which he performs today.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

Styles led his team to victory at Survivor Series when Team Raw defeated Team SmackDown with ease. He roamed Raw with a humongous bodyguard called Omos, who kept the enemies away quite effectively.<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">With his new partner Omos, AJ Styles started dominating the Raw tag division. The biggest prize for the duo came when they </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQrIqJH4uLk"><span style="font-weight: 400">won </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">the Raw Tag Team titles at </span><span style="font-weight: 400">WrestleMania 37. The duo kept the title around their waists for a total of 133 days, before dropping the titles to </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt9jPH7vVK8"><span style="font-weight: 400">Rk-Bro </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">at the SummerSlam PPV.</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.theilluminerdi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Aj-and-Omos.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Following that, Styles and Omos faced RK-Bro in a rematch at Crown Jewel and lost again. Omos and Styles broke up after Omos attacked Styles on the December 20 episode of Raw.
<h2>AJ Styles 2022 Achievements<span class="Apple-converted-space">?</span></h2>

Randy Orton: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns is one of the biggest faces to emerge from WWE in the past few years. H<span style="font-weight: 400">e is the current and the longest reigning Undisputed WWE Universal champion and is notorious for leading one of wrestling's most storied families called The Bloodline. </span>Despite receiving mixed fan reviews, the wrestler is considered a favorite of Vince McMahon. As a result, he is one of the most heavily pushed stars in the company. Roman has wrestling running in his family, with his father Sika Anoa'i, and late brother Rosey being former wrestlers. His cousins Umaga, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">Dwayne Johnson</a> were all prominent wrestlers in the company.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns’ Early Life</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns, whose actual name is Leati Joseph Anoa'i, was born on May 25, 1985, in Pensacola, Florida to Leati ‘Sika’ Anoaʻi and Patricia Anoa'i. Reigns' father lived in the Leone village of American Samoa before moving to San Fransisco, California while his mother hails from Italy. He has three sisters named Vanessa, Myritza, and Summer while his elder brother Matthew Tapunu'u Anoaʻi aka Rosey died in April 2017.

Speaking of his education, the wrestler went to Pensacola Catholic High School followed by Escambia High School. He also studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns’ wife and children</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns has been happily married to Galina Becker since 2014 and they are proud parents of five children. The couple met each other in 2007 at the Georgia Institute of Technology and have been going strong since then. Reigns and Becker welcomed their daughter Joelle in December 2007 and they became parents to twin sons in 2016. In 2020, Galina gave birth to another set of twins.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
Reigns is one of the highest-paid wrestlers in WWE. According to Sports World News, the Samoan superstar has a net worth of $20 million.  His salary with the WWE touches $5 million annually. However, after additional perks and bonuses, it goes up quite a lot. This is not his only source of income, as he also acts in movies and has cash-rich endorsements.

Reigns earns a good amount of money by selling merchandise while he has also enjoyed endorsement deals with big brands like Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Nike.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns’ Career Timeline</strong></h2>
Roman didn't immediately take a liking to professional wrestling. Formerly, he was a professional football player, representing Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars in the National Football League in 2007. Notably, the Pensacola native was <span style="font-weight: 400">released by both football teams without having played in any regular season games. </span>

He later moved to professional wrestling in July 2010. Roman debuted as Roman Leakee in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), but the Superstar would make his main roster debut in the year 2012 as a part of The Shield, one of the most successful stables in the company's history. After the group split in 2014, Roman was quickly pushed as the face of the company and as a successor to John Cena.

However, his momentum got an enormous setback when the WWE star was diagnosed with Leukemia in the year 2018. His champion spirit would push him to make a comeback which has led him to his current status in the company. Reigns returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2020, months after preferring to stay out of in-ring action due to safety concerns during the pandemic. He introduced his heel character for the first time and received a huge reception from virtual fans.

'The Big Dog' went on to capture the WWE Universal Championship as he defeated The Fiend and Braun Strowman at Payback. Reigns then went on to have a rivalry with Jay USO. At Hell in a Cell, Reigns defeated Jey in an 'I Quit' match, and following that Jey was ordered to address Roman as 'The Tribal Chief.'

Following that at Survivor Series Reigns defeated Raw Champion Drew McIntyre in a Champion vs Champion match. Following that, Reigns was involved in a feud with Kevin Owens. He faced and defeated Owens at TLC 2020 and the Royal Rumble 2021. 'The Trible Chief' had a rivalry with Daniel Bryan, whom he defeated twice at the Elimination Chamber and Fastlane. Reigns faced Bryan and Edge (Who had won the 2021 Royal Rumble Match) at WrestleMania, and he successfully defended the title at the event.

Reigns then faced the returning Edge at the Money in the Bank event and again retained his title. Following that, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a> challenged Reigns to a match at SummerSlam and after a bit of delay, he accepted the match and defeated Cena at SummerSlam. Apart from defeating Finn Balor at Extreme Rules, 'The Tribal Chief' also fought against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel and, with the help of the Usos, defended his title.

Reigns then faced WWE Champion Big E at Survivor Series and defeated him. The Universal Champion was then set to face Brock Lesnar at the Day 1 event but had to withdraw from the event. At Royal Rumble 2022, Reigns defended his title against Seth Rollins, and even though Rollins won, as the victory was via disqualification, the title did not change hands.
