I feel like the guy isn’t getting as much shine as Cena did in 2013 (which was 11 years into his career and 8 years as main Eventer). I hope this bloodline story and HHH’s good booking brings more eyes into him since I believe he deserves it

Sure is, but so is garbage. And they both start to stink as they get old.

No one in wrestling over the last 10 years is a household name

Only if that household has wrestling fans.

Nah, wrestling just isn't big enough anymore for anyone to be a household name. Mind you, here in the UK the average person still name drops Big f***ing Daddy.

I don't even think that Cena is a household name and he's way more known than Roman so nope.

Nope. The last one was Cena and even then, I’d attribute meme culture and his acting success to that even more than his longevity in WWE.

Absolutely not. He could be one at some point, but if it were to happen, it'd be tangentially as a result of his wrestling career, like Cena or Batista

People called Romanes, they go the house.

Cena has to thank his acting career for being a household name. Cena was able to capitalize on the tail end of WWE wrestlers doing stuff like MADTV, Saturday Night Live, etc... Same with Batista having to thank his acting career for making him a household name |

I think he's reached a point of casual recognition even for people who don't watch pro wrestling. Probably at least as much as like, Daniel Bryan has.

Somewhat. My mom knows who he is and she knows Stone Cold, The Rock, Cena, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair
She works in an elementary school, so she knows the biggest wrestler at the time, but almost nobody else.
If you don’t have kids, you probably would have no idea who he is though.

I don't think so. My mother actually knows Miz and asks about him when she sees him on my TV, mostly because of Dancing with the Stars and things like that. She'd be clueless if she ever saw Roman though.

I can only speak from my own personal experience, but I don't know anyone who isn't a wrestling fan that knows who Roman Reigns is. And I know plenty of people who aren't wrestling fans. I'd go so far as to say the only wrestlers from the last 20 years that I've ever known any non-fans to be aware of are John Cena and the Bella Twins.

I guess somebody, somewhere probably named their house "Roman" at some point.
