Leati Joseph Anoaʻi (Samoan pronunciation: [a.noˈaʔ.i] ah-no-AH ee; born May 25, 1985), better known by his ring name Roman Reigns, is an American professional wrestler, actor and former football player. As a wrestler, he has been signed to WWE since 2010, where he performs on the SmackDown brand. Regarded as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world,[9][10] Reigns' 1,316-day reign as WWE Universal Championship is the longest reign of the title's history, the fourth longest world title reign in WWE history and the longest championship reign recognised by the company since 1988.[a] After playing U.S. college football for Georgia Tech, Anoaʻi started a professional football career with brief off-season stints with the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL) in 2007. He played a full season for the Canadian Football League's (CFL) Edmonton Eskimos in 2008 before his release and retirement from football. A member of the Anoaʻi wrestling family, Anoaʻi was signed by WWE in 2010 and made his main roster debut under the ring name Roman Reigns in 2012 as a member of The Shield alongside Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins; with Rollins, Reigns held the WWE Tag Team Championship once. The trio teamed together until disbanding in 2014, after which, Reigns entered singles competition. From 2014 to 2020, WWE positioned Reigns as a heroic character and attempted to establish him as their next "face of the company", which was met with intense disapproval by audiences and critics.[11] During this period, Reigns won numerous championships and accomplishments, including winning the WWE Championship three times, the WWE Universal Championship once, and winning the Royal Rumble in 2015. After a hiatus, Reigns was repackaged as a villainous character between 2020 and 2024,[12][13] which was generally met with acclaim by audiences and critics.[14][15] Reigns then won his second Universal Championship and fourth WWE Championship, holding both simultaneously as the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship; upon losing the Undisputed title, the Universal Championship was retired with Reigns recognized as its final champion.[b] Reigns has headlined numerous WWE pay-per-view and livestreaming events, including WWE's flagship event, WrestleMania, a record 10 times. Reigns holds the joint-record for most eliminations in a Survivor Series match (4) and is also WWE's 28th Triple Crown Champion and 17th Grand Slam Champion. He was also ranked at No. 1 in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's annual PWI 500 list of the top 500 singles wrestlers in 2016 and 2022,[16][17] and was named Wrestler of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 2021.[10]

Welcome to the city of Angelthene…We hope you survive. Loren Calla has only ever been ordinary. As a human living in Angelthene, a city of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural creatures, she always assumed her life would remain simple, predictable, and as safe as her world would allow. But when she barely escapes abduction at the hands of Darkslayers—supernatural bounty hunters—and one of her friends is taken in her place, Loren will do whatever it takes to get her back. She’ll even accept help from Darien Cassel, leader of the most ruthless Darkslaying circle in the city. Darien is Loren’s only chance at finding her friend alive—if she can manage not to fall head-over-heels in love with him. Easier said than done. Their search for answers takes them deep into Angelthene’s corrupt underbelly to a dark secret that threatens to unravel their world. When tragedy strikes, can Loren learn that love makes an ordinary person do extraordinary things?
