10 YEARS OF THE SHIELD

Colby Lopez, Jonathan Good and Leati Joseph Anoa’i: 3 men who partially saved me when they debuted at Survivor Series 2012.

🚨PERSONAL SHIT AHEAD🚨

12 year old me was stuck in a bad home situation with an abusive stepdad, who had no concept of personal space or privacy. Pro wrestling was my safe haven as a kid (I had some comfort shows but that’s a different story for another time). When SS happened in November 2012, my mom and I were trying to escape but we were still a ways off of succeeding and WWE was my escape.

I connected with all 3 of them on some level and they’ve in the oddest of ways seen me through so much in my life. Moving to a new state with new kids, a new school, losing my grandparents, some breakups, and whole nother slew of things. They also unknowingly helped me find some really amazing online friends that obsess and rave about wrestling just as much as I do.

Seth & Roman reminded me so much of my brothers in so many ways. Dean proved to me as a kid from Cincinnati that I could accomplish anything I wanted to if I believed in myself enough and was willing to put in the work.

I can’t honestly think of any factions of the last 20 years that have connected with so many people on so many different levels. I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years brings Colby, Joe and Jon because they all 3 deserve the world and all the good things that wrestling can give them.

Imagine:

Your husband, Roman buying you plenty of gifts during the week to gift to you as he truly loves you and wants you to get all the things you want.

From Yokozuna and @therock to @romanreigns and @solosikoa, this move and its variations run through the Anoa'i dynasty. #AAPIMonth

As much as I hate to admit this I honestly don’t want The Shield to ever reunite in the ring as a team. They’ve all become absolute badasses to ever need to reunite 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve got all the love for Jon, Colby & Joe and I’ll always be a Shield fan but they all deserve to move on and not have people constantly ask when they’re gonna get back together.

Am i late? Multiple of 6

6. What’s your lucky number?  Probably 14. My kids were all born on the 14th, just different months.

12. What was your last dream about?  Spearing Bill Goldberg in half, taking my title belt home, and...well the rest isn’t safe for work.

18. Do you want children? I’ve already got three, I think I’ve got enough

24. Baths or showers? Showers. My big ass hasn’t fit in a bathtub in years

30. How many pillows do you sleep with? Two, otherwise I snore like a freight train

36. Favorite clean word? Y’all’d’ve. I’m from the south.

42. Are you a good judge of character? I like to think so

78. Have you ever done drugs? Yeah. I had a medical marijuana card while I was getting treatment for my cancer. And I was an idiot and took painkillers that weren’t prescribed to me once. 

84. What color is your hair? Black, though I’m starting to get some grey

90. What makes you angry? The quickest way to piss me off is to make an entire social media account dedicated to threatening my daughter. 

96. How did you get your name? My real name is Leati Joseph Anoa’i, I’m named after my dad. I got bullied a lot growing up cause I was the only brown kid with a weird name in my class, so I just started going by Joe and it stuck. 

Samu Anoa'i being proud of his cousins. 🤗

These guys are the reason I came back to watching WWE five years ago after having stopped for a few years. Roman specifically drew me in with his character and that bad ass aura he had. To say they’re the reason I fell in love with WWE again is such an understatement. Love him or hate him he has brought nothing but pure entertainment and has given us five star matches week after week! My prayers are with him forever, I absolutely believe he will be back better then ever and will kick cancers ass! We love you, Leati Joseph Anoa’i💜💜💜 #ThankYouRoman

Happy 33rd Birthday Leati Joseph Anoa’i

May 25, 1985

❤ . . . #regrann @thewhatitdo Breaking News : WWE’s @romanreignsofficial , aka Leati Joseph Anoa’i, kicked of tonight’s episode of RAW with a very emotional announcement of his battle with cancer (leukemia) that has returned. . . “My real name is Joe, and I've been living with leukemia for 11 years," Roman Reigns said, in front of the crowd at Providence's Dunkin' Donuts Center. "And, unfortunately, it's back. And because the leukemia is back, I cannot fulfill my role -- I can't be that fighting champion -- and I'm going to have to relinquish the Universal championship ... I want to make one thing clear: by no means is this a retirement speech. Because after I'm done whipping leukemia's ass once again, I'm coming back home." . . After the announcement, the WWE made an official statement revealing some additional details on Anoa'i's condition. "Tonight on Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns [a.k.a. Joe Anoa'i] announced that he is relinquishing the WWE Universal championship and taking a leave of absence from WWE as he once again fights leukemia, which had been in remission since late 2008," the WWE said. "Reigns is taking his battle with leukemia public in an effort to raise awareness and funds for research in order to advance cures for the disease.” . . After making his announcement, Reigns laid down the title belt in the ring and was then embraced at the top of the entrance ramp by teammates and close friends. . . We are keeping you in our prayers Joe! 🙏🏾 #Alofas ♥️ . #FindACure #CureCancer #LeukemiaWarrior #CancerSucks #RomanReigns #WWE #JoeAnoai #Samoan #Polynesian #PacificIslander #Oceania #LeukemiaAwareness #Tatau #Champion #Uso #ProAthlete #BloodCancer #HealthAndWellness https://www.instagram.com/p/BpRRedkn0Jl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nhqmn9xx9l8c
