Roman Bravo Young (RBY) groeide op in een moeilijke buurt in South Tucson, Arizona. Zijn vader was nooit in zijn leven en zijn moeder had haar problemen met middelenmisbruik en verslaving. De meeste kinderen die uit dat gebied komen en dat soort opvoeding vinden, vinden nergens veel succes in. Roman was anders. RBY stuiterde rond en woonde bij zijn grootouders, coaches en meer. Worstelen was zijn ticket en Roman stopte alles wat hij had in de sport. Gepusht en getraind door zijn grootvader, won RBY vier staatstitels, studeerde af aan de middelbare school en werd een ster in Penn State, waar hij de eerste persoon in zijn familie werd die afstudeerde aan de universiteit. RBY is een lichtend voorbeeld voor mensen uit alle lagen van de bevolking .
