WWE figures have built a close relationship with President Donald Trump before and after his election. Former chairman Vince McMahon famously had Trump written up in a storyline that unfolded at WrestleMania 23 in 2007. WrestleMania IV and WrestleMania V also took place in Atlantic City, New Jersey, sponsored by Trump Plaza, the business mogul’s former casino.

In Trump’s second term, WWE star Roman Reigns expressed his support for the president in April 2025.
“I support our president. Trump is one of those guys who has a vast history and a great deal of experience,” Reigns, who said the choice for the 2024 election was “very clear,” told Vanity Fair. “He’s been in entertainment. He’s been in big business, he’s been in politics. At this point, I’m supporting a bright future for our country. Positive, competent leadership. For us to be what we’re supposed to be, a world leader and to carry that respect and do what a world power like us should be doing.”
Reigns criticized Trump for picking battles with political rivals, saying Trump “needs that adversary.”
