SETH ROLLINS AND MOXLEY PAY TRIBUTE TO ROMAN REIGNS FOR HIS NEW BORN CHILD

The wrestling world was recently filled with heartfelt warmth as Seth Rollins and Jon Moxley, two of the industry’s biggest stars, came together to celebrate a joyous milestone in the life of their former Shield brother, Roman Reigns. The WWE superstar and his wife, Galina Becker, welcomed their sixth child, a moment that not only marked a personal triumph for the Anoa’i family but also highlighted the enduring bond among the three men who once dominated WWE as The Shield. This news, confirmed during a recent WrestleVotes Q&A session, has sparked an outpouring of support from fans and peers alike, with Rollins and Moxley leading the charge in paying tribute to their longtime friend.

Roman Reigns, known to fans as “The Tribal Chief,” has been a cornerstone of WWE for over a decade. His journey from a college football star at Georgia Tech to a professional wrestling icon is well-documented, but it’s his role as a devoted family man that has taken center stage in recent months. Reigns and Becker, who met in 2007 while attending Georgia Tech, have built a beautiful family, starting with their daughter Joelle “JoJo” Anoa’i in 2008, followed by twin boys in 2016, another set of twin boys in 2020, and now their sixth child. The couple has kept their family life private, but Reigns has often spoken about the importance of his children, describing them as his legacy and the driving force behind many of his career decisions.

The announcement of Reigns’ newest child came at a time when he has been absent from WWE programming, following a dramatic storyline exit after WrestleMania 41. Reports suggest that Reigns is using this time to focus on his family, a decision that resonates deeply with his former Shield teammates. Seth Rollins, currently a top star in WWE and known for his dynamic in-ring performances, took to social media to express his admiration for Reigns’ commitment to fatherhood. In a heartfelt post, Rollins congratulated Reigns and Becker, writing, “Six kids and still the Big Dog! Congrats to you and Galina, brother. Family first, always.” The message, simple yet sincere, reflects the deep respect and friendship that has endured between the two despite their on-screen rivalries.

Jon Moxley, formerly Dean Ambrose in WWE and now a leading figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), also shared his congratulations in a rare public gesture. Moxley, who has been open about his unpredictable nature in the past, sent a message through a wrestling podcast, saying, “Joe’s always been the rock of our group, and now he’s got another little one to keep him grounded. Much love to him and his family.” The nod to Reigns’ real name, Leati Joseph Anoa’i, added a personal touch, underscoring the trio’s bond that dates back to their debut as The Shield in 2012. That iconic faction, known for its black tactical gear and relentless dominance, revolutionized WWE and laid the foundation for the individual successes of Reigns, Rollins, and Moxley.

The Shield’s impact on professional wrestling remains undeniable. From their debut at Survivor Series 2012, where they helped CM Punk retain the WWE Championship, to their multiple championship reigns, the trio set a standard for teamwork and intensity. Though they disbanded in 2014 when Rollins betrayed his brothers, their real-life friendship has remained strong. Over the years, they’ve supported each other through personal and professional milestones, from Reigns’ battle with leukemia to Moxley’s departure from WWE and Rollins’ rise as a multi-time world champion. Their recent tributes to Reigns’ growing family are a testament to this brotherhood, which transcends promotions and storylines.

Fans have been quick to celebrate this moment, with many taking to social media to express their joy for Reigns and admiration for the unity shown by Rollins and Moxley. Comments on platforms like X have highlighted the emotional weight of seeing The Shield’s bond endure, with one fan writing, “Seeing Seth and Mox show love to Roman for his new kid just hits different. The Shield forever.” Others have speculated about a potential reunion, though Moxley’s commitment to AEW makes this unlikely in the near future. Still, the shared use of the Stomp finisher by all three within a 24-hour span earlier this year, as noted by Sportskeeda, was seen as a subtle nod to their shared history, further fueling fans’ nostalgia.

Reigns’ current hiatus from WWE is reportedly tied to both his family commitments and creative plans for a grand return, possibly at SummerSlam. Sources indicate that WWE is developing new branding for the star, hinting at a character evolution that could redefine his already legendary career. For now, though, Reigns is embracing fatherhood, a role he has described as both “hectic” and fulfilling. As he navigates life with six children, the support from Rollins and Moxley serves as a reminder of the unbreakable bond forged in the ring and carried into their personal lives. The wrestling world eagerly awaits Reigns’ return, but for now, it celebrates a champion who is, above all, a devoted dad.
