The wrestling world was filled with a warm embrace recently as two of the industry’s brightest stars, Seth Rollins and Jon Moxley, came together to celebrate a joyous milestone in the life of their former Shield brother, Roman Reigns. The WWE Superstar and his wife, Galina Baker, welcomed their sixth child, a moment that not only marked a personal triumph for the Anoa’i family but also highlighted the enduring bond between the three men who once dominated WWE under the Shield. The news, confirmed during a recent WrestleFootties Q&A, sparked an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues alike, with Rollins and Moxley leading the charge to honor 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 college football star at Georgia Tech to 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 Baker, who met in 2007 while attending Georgia Tech, have built a beautiful family, beginning with daughter Joel “JoJo” Anoa’i in 2008, followed by twins in 2016, another set of twins in 2020, and now their sixth child. The couple has kept their family life private, but Reigns has spoken often about the importance of his children, calling them his legacy and the driving force behind many of his career decisions.

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

Jon Moxley, formerly known as 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 vocal about his unpredictable nature in the past, sent a message via a wrestling podcast, saying, “Joe has always been the rock of our group, and now he has another little boy to keep him grounded. Much love to him and his family.” The reference to Reigns’ real name, Leati Joseph Anoa’i, added a personal touch, emphasizing the trio’s bond that dates back to their debut as The Shield in 2012. The iconic faction, known for their black tactical gear and uncompromising dominance, revolutionized WWE and laid the foundation for the individual successes of Reigns, Rollins, and Moxley.

The Shield’s impact on professional wrestling remains unmistakable. From their debut at the 2012 Survivor Series, where they helped CM Punk retain the WWE Championship, to their repeated championship wins, the trio has set the standard for teamwork and passion. Despite parting ways in 2014 when Rollins betrayed his brothers, their true friendship has remained strong. Over the years, they have supported each other at key personal and professional milestones, from Reigns’ battle with leukemia to Moxley’s departure from WWE to Rollins’ rise as a multiple world champion. Their recent tributes to the growing Reigns family are testament to this brotherhood, which goes beyond mere promos and success stories.

Fans were quick to celebrate the moment, with many taking to social media to express their joy for Reigns and their admiration for the unity shown by Rollins and Moxley. Comments on platforms like X highlighted the emotional weight of seeing The Shield continue, with one fan writing, “Seth and Moxley showing Roman their love for his new baby is something else entirely. The Shield forever.” Others speculated about a potential reunion, though Moxley’s commitment to AEW makes that unlikely in the near future. However, the combined use of the Stomp finisher by the three within 24 hours earlier this year, as noted by Sportskeeda, was seen as a subtle nod to their shared history, adding to the fans’ nostalgia.

Reigns’ current hiatus from WWE is said to be linked to his family commitments and creative plans for a powerful return, possibly at SummerSlam. Sources indicate that WWE is developing a new brand for the star, hinting at a character evolution that could redefine his legendary career. For now, Reigns is embracing fatherhood, a role he has described as both “feverish” and fulfilling. As he navigates life with six children, the support of Rollins and Moxley reminds him of the unbreakable bond that was forged in the ring and has continued into their personal lives. The wrestling world eagerly awaits Reigns’ return, but for now, it celebrates a champion who is, above all, a devoted father.
