World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. WWE has been pushing Reigns as the next big thing for a little over a year. He won the company's crowning achievement, the WWE World Heavyweight Title, at Wrestlemania 32 this past April. He held the title until Sunday night, losing it at the company's Money In The Bank event.
