Orphaned references in Joe Anoaʻi

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Joe Anoaʻi's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Tyrol5 [Talk] 02:34, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Anoa'i → Roman Reigns – Despite his football career, I think his WWE career is far more popular, so the common name to go by should be "Roman Reigns", the character that debuted on WWE's pay-per-view and also participates on internationally streamed television programmes Raw, SmackDown and NXT. Google News shows "Roman Reigns" -> 411 results, "Leakee" -> 3 results, "Joe Anoa'i" -> 1 result, "Leati Joseph Anoa'i" (real name)-> 1 result. Starship.paint (talk) 08:31, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support - As much as I wanted to be Leakee first, I'll go for Reigns since it's used more. Keith Okamoto (talk) 09:02, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support WWE career is more high-profile and current than the CFL one, so that's the common name. Beside the point, cool to learn this is Sika's kid. Looking back, I see it. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:38, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life

Please STOP making edits about his fiancee. There is no interview to confirm that his engagement was called off, it has been fact checked. Further attempts should be referenced by a verifiable source, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.77.146.240 (talk) 00:45, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, just fixed this. Roman Reigns is engaged to the mother of his child. Please STOP with the edits unless you can tag and source it with a working link to said video. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FactChecker2172013 (talk • contribs) 10:50, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've semiprotected the article for a week. This means that you won't be able to edit it either, FactChecker, until you become autoconfirmed, but if you or anyone else has verifiable content they'd like added, they can make a request here. Qwyrxian (talk) 11:43, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Signature move name?

I could be wrong about this, but I believe that the "Running dropkick from the floor to the head of an opponent draped over the second rope" is being called the Roman Candle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biff Andreas (talk • contribs) 23:49, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In wrestling - finisher

Should the three-man assisted powerbomb be added to his list of finishers? It was the iconic finishing move of the Shield, and he did the heavy lifting back then. Deltopia (talk) 01:30, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
