-	In July 2010, Anoa'i signed a developmental contract with [[IWE\|International Wrestling Entertainment]] (IWE) and was later assigned to their [[Farm Team#Professional wrestling\|developmental territory]] [[NXT Wrestling\|Florida Championship Wrestling]] (FCW). He debuted on September 9, 2010, using the [[Ring Name\|ring name]] Roman Leakee, in a loss to [[Richie Steamboat]] in a [[Singles Match\|singles match]]. Further losses to [[Aaron Peters\|Idol Stevens]] and [[Kris Brisco\|Wes Brisco]] ensued, before he gained his first win on September 21 over '''Fahd Rakman'''. He continued competing in FCW throughout the remainder of the year, wrestling mainly in [[Tag Team Match\|tag team matches]]. On the January 16, 2011 episode of FCW television, Leakee was a competitor in a 30-man [[Battle Royal Match#Reverse battle royal\|Grand Royal]], but was eliminated. Later in 2011, Leakee formed an alliance with [[Nicolas Fifita\|Donny Marlow]] and the pair unsuccessfully challenged '''Calvin Raines''' and [[Keith Ewen\|Big E Langston]] for the [[Florida Tag Team Championship]] on July 8.
-
-	In 2012, Leakee became a main eventer in singles competition, and he pinned Florida Heavyweight Champion [[Ray Kruger\|Leo Kruger]] during a tag team match on the 8 episode of FCW television. On the February 5 episode of FCW television, he defeated [[Jarek Watts\|Dean Ambrose]] and [[Chris Lopez\|Seth Rollins]] in a [[Basic Non-Elimination Matches\|triple threat match]] to become the number one contender to the [[FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship]]. He failed to win the championship when he lost to Kruger in a singles match the following week. He would later go on to win the [[Florida Tag Team Championship]] alongside [[Michael Clement\|Mike Dalton]] before dropping it to CJ Parker and Jason Jordan. Anoa'i made his NXT debut on the October 31 tapings under the name '''Roman Reigns''' by defeating CJ Parker.
