WrestleMania is only three days away and it can't come soon enough.

The main event features Brock Lesnar, who just recently renewed his contract with the WWE, and the number one contender, winner of the Royal Rumble -- Roman Reigns -- for the WWE Championship.

Reigns, whose real name is Joe Anoa'i, played college football at Georgia Tech from 2003-2006. While at Georgia Tech, he was teammates with Detroit Lions superstar Calvin Johnson.

WrestleMania takes place at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco and told Yahoo Sports he is trying to get his former teammate out to watch the biggest match of his life.

"We're trying to coordinate," Reigns said. "Hopefully he'll be able to come."

Whether or not you are a wrestling fan, you have to respect the guys for what they do. Over 70,000 will be in attendance, and it would be really cool to see Calvin show up and support Reigns.

During Reigns' time with Georgia Tech, he earned first team all-ACC honors. He is also related to the world famous Dwyane Johnson, better known as "The Rock."
