10 WWE Superstars You Didn’t Know Were Related

5. Rikishi And Roman Reigns

twittertwitterIt would have been impossible to write an article of this kind without referencing the legendary Anoa'i family. Sure, there are a lot of links out there that are incredibly well-known, but here's one you may not have picked up on. Rikishi has a lot of links to professional wrestlers - including his sons, Jimmy and Jey Uso. But whilst Rikishi (also brother of the late Umaga) has a deep wrestling heritage in his family, one of his cousins is the company's biggest breakthrough star of recent years. Believe it or not, Roman Reigns is also a member of the Anoa'i family, and he's got a lot of relatives in the WWE - including Rikishi. As well as Rikishi, Reigns is also a cousin of The Rock, Umaga, and even Yokozuna. Perhaps one day, we might see an Anoa'i dynasty take the WWE by storm. And if we do, expect Roman Reigns to head it up in some style. Although don't expect him to pull out of the kind of moves that Rikishi used to do - especially that bizarre "Stinkface" maneuver.
