WWE superstar Roman Reigns has gone public with his support for Donald Trump as US president, despite being registered as democrat in his home state of Florida.

Reigns, whose real name is Joe Anoa'i, was speaking to Vanity Fair ahead of WrestleMania in Las Vegas this weekend - where he headlines for a record ninth time.

But reflecting on the US election, he said he had a 'very clear' choice last November, and that was to vote for Trump instead of for Kamala Harris.

'One person was giving us information. One person was answering questions, so it wasn’t that hard,' the 39-year-old, who was born in Pensacloa, explained.

'I support our president. Trump is one of those guys where he’s got a vast history and a huge background. He’s been in entertainment. He’s been in big business, politics.

'At this point, I’m supporting a bright future for our country. Positive and competent leadership. For us to be what we’re supposed to be - to be a world leader and carry that respect and do what a world power like us should be doing.'

That said, Anoa'i isn't the biggest fan of Trump's appetite for rivalries and picking fights with opponents.

'He needs that opposition to bounce off of. He needs that competitive motivation or something,' he said.

'To be honest, the world seems to be more like wrestling than any other form of entertainment.'

Trump has history with the WWE, too. In 2007, he helped shave Vince McMahon's head in the Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania 23.

Since his return as president for a second time, Trump has made appearances at sporting events a staple of his return to power. 

He was at 314 in Miami last weekend, as well as appearing at a NASCAR event, NCAA wrestling and becoming the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl in February.

But an appearance in Vegas this weekend hasn't been mooted. 

Reigns, meanwhile, will take on CM Punk and Seth Rollins in a triple-threat match in Sin City on Saturday.
