WWE star Leati Joseph Anoaʻi, well known as Roman Reigns, made sure his athleticism was on point for his recent wrestling showdown. He showcased an intense and long upper body workout on April 20, 2025, that helped prepare him for the Triple Threat match against CM Punk and Seth Rollins.
Reigns is a former football player and high-profile American wrestler. As a fixture in the WWE, he is one of the sport’s most dominant and long-standing champions, having accomplished a 1,316-day reign, which is the fourth longest in WWE history and the longest championship reign since 1988. Reigns has headlined several pay-per-views and continues to elevate wrestling and make it more mainstream worldwide.
His latest match took a huge turn when Paul Heyman betrayed him and handed Rollins a steel chair. Rollins took advantage of the opportunity and followed up with a curb-stomp on Reigns to secure the pin and hard-fought victory.
