Before trying out with WWE, Williams was a backstage producer for Impact Wrestling, fka TNA, and was working as the producer for years before making his big switch last month.

The current champion was last pinned in 2019 against Baron Corbin when Reigns was still a babyface that no one liked. However, fast forward to 2021, Reigns is the most decorated superstar in modern wrestling.
Eventually, it looks like WWE is not planning to take the belt off Reigns as his heel characteristics are really complimenting his in-rin abilities.
However, the WWE Universe is still hoping to see Roman Reigns face off against The Rock; with Survivor Series right in the corner, it looks like WWE is planning something big with Roman.
