Roman Raines: sports career, filmography, family

Roman Raines, whose photo will be featured in this article, is known as one of the best wrestlers in America. He is also a member of the Canadian football team. His real name is Lythif Joseph Anoai. But, having got to WWE, half-actor-polusportsmen took a pseudonym. He is known for his victory in the Battle of the King, held this year.

Roman Leakey and his first victory

Before the first victory, Roman Raines, whose photo you can see in this article, went through a difficult path of defeat. He got into the world of wrestling under the name of Roman Lika. Under him was signed his first contract with World Wrestling, from where he was sent to the regional division of Chempionship Wrestling, located in Florida.

The debut of Raines took place in 2010, but in the first battle he was defeated by the more experienced soldier Richie Steambot. After that, he was expecting a whole series of failures. Many argued about this, insisting on the young man's inability to participate in battles. Someone justified Raines, emphasizing his inexperience. Indeed, against him emerged experienced wrestlers, having many victories behind him. Not to say that the first bouts, in which Roman had to participate, ended quickly. The fighter desperately resisted when he was taken into a painful grip. He also conducted good counterattacks, which still gave him hope for his victory.

On September 21 of the same year, Roman managed to win his first victory. His opponent, Fad Rackman, had outstanding skills, but it did not help him to resist the young quick-paced Raines, who, after suffering a lot of defeats, was not going to concede this time.

After this victory, Roman established himself as a powerful fighter, and he was invited to participate in many battles, including command battles.

Wrestling. Roman Raines. Alliance with Marlowe

After the royal battle in 2011, where he never managed to win, Roman concludes an alliance with Donnie Marlowe. They are immediately challenged by Rheins and Langstown. The battle was heavy. Marlowe and Rains showed themselves as a close-knit team, but the victory still went to their opponents. However sad, the title of the best team in Florida is not given to those who have such little experience. In the same year, the alliance disintegrated.

2012 for Raines

This year has been successful for the fighter. Unlike in 2011, Reins managed to win a number of victories over various wrestlers. They were both inexperienced fighters, and the titans of the ring. Roman was one of the main wrestlers FCW and played in singles duels.

In the match titled "Triple Threat", he wins a brilliant victory over Ebrose and Rollins, which makes him closer to the belt of the champion of Florida. Who would have thought that a person who is in this hard sport for just over a year can achieve such results! The belt of the champion of Florida in the heavyweight was very close to the Rhine, but his loss to Kruger distanced the fighter from the cherished goal.

Later, Roman joins forces with Michael Danton, which allows him to defeat the alliance of Parker and Jordan. Thus, Raines along with his partner wins the title of team champions. And on October 31, Roman changed his nickname Roman Lika, under which he performed until this day, on Roman Raines. His first debut under a new pseudonym was in NXT.

"Shield"

After ceasing to participate in single battles, Raines joined a grouping called "Shield". It also included Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. The team's work consisted in fighting injustice. They came out unexpectedly for the whole audience from behind the scenes and interfered in other people's fights. But the glory of the fighters for justice never overtook the team. On the contrary, a variety of rumors of a negative nature began to circulate about them. The first reason for bad reviews about "Shield" was the attack on the opponent SM Punk. It was even said that Pank paid a "Shield" to attack his opponents. Considering that after each intervention in the fights of Pank that victory was won, it became obvious.

"Shield" in the WWE

The first time the fighter came to the ring as Roman Raines in the main WWE 2012 rooster. There he, having joined the team "Shield", attacked the opponent SM Pank, which allowed the latter to win. Raybek - opponent of Punk - attacked him along with his partner Sino, which was the reason for the release of "Shield". So the team made themselves PR as fighters with injustice. But not for long.

Until the last, the members of the Shield denied their connection with Pank, but their actions spoke about the opposite. Among the opponents of Punk, the victory over which belonged to the Shield, were:

• Raybek;
• Kane;
• Miz;
• Brian.

Subsequently, Raybek decided to teach the team a lesson, summoning them to battle. He made friends with the Hell No team, but this never gave him the opportunity to take revenge. In the debut for the "Shield" fight he won. After that, few dared to resent the activities of the "Shield", which allowed the team to attack the opponents of Punk. In the next fight with Rebek "Shield" again came out on the side of Punk, which allowed him to win the title of champion.

Punk, Rock and "Shield"

In the royal battle took place the battle of Scala and Punk. But suddenly for everyone in the hall the light went out. Nobody understood what was happening, but in the ring there were sounds of fighting. The unknown came to the aid of Pank, and while the lighting was being restored, the unknowns defeated the Rock. When the lights were on, he lay on the floor. So, Panku was almost awarded a victory. But the judges considered the fight not to take place, and she was reassigned the next day.

The rebuff "Shield"

After the "Shield" attacked Duane, nicknamed "Rock", they repeated the same trick with Sino. But at that moment, Raybek and Seamus stood up for him unexpectedly. Holding the insult on the "Shield", the soldiers decided to avenge their defeat, not allowing him to beat Sino.

Call grouping

The tricks of "Shield" began to unsettle the rest of the ring, which gave rise to whole discussions that were aired. It was about the unknown alliance of Pank and this association. Rumors that he pays for the team have already passed into the status of "really". After a wave of indignation, "Shield" was challenged by the opposing team, but Raines and his friends won.

After Sheamus teamed up with Orton in the alliance against the aggressive team, but in view of the small number, they were defeated. Later they were joined by the Big Show. But in this battle happened what the spectators did not expect. Orton took the tag from Shaw, for which he, in turn, dealt him a crushing blow. So the team destroyed itself "from within". "Shield" after his next victory challenged Kane and Brian to take away the title of the team.

New grouping object

Enjoying his victories, "Shield" dealt with one opponent after another. Now the object of their protection was a new team, for which the guys periodically ran out. Naturally, this again caused a storm of indignation.

Image of Roman Raines

If before the fighter acted in black shorts, now he is dressed in a black uniform, similar to that worn by special forces soldiers. Just look and his team mates. Thus, they seem to emphasize their status of fighters for justice. The novel is the only one of the team who has black long hair. He has a big tattoo on his right shoulder.

Personal life

One of the most discussed news, which somehow relates to the actor, is the family of Roman Raines. The actor is married to his longtime girlfriend. As it turned out, the wife of Romanes Reins is Galina Becker. The news of the imminent wedding sounded all over the Internet when he announced it. In addition, the fighter has a daughter - Joe Jo, who is now seven years old.

The collection of battles of the famous wrestler is very active in the network, which is called as follows: "Roman Raines. Filmography. "
