You know how WWE tried to get Roman Reigns over by telling you he was the cousin of The Great One, The Rock? Well, he isn't. Rocky and Reignsy are related however, but not via blood. The pair are part of that famous Anoa'i family tree, but they're not on there by kin. People like Dave Meltzer have told how The Rock's grandfather was just buddies with the Wild Samoans, and that's how all the kids are 'cousins', but according to the official family tree, both Tovale Anoa'i and Peter Miavia were a little bit closer than that. Anoa'i and Miavia were actually blood brothers - this is where men who are not related by birth have sworn loyalty to each other. In modern times, the process of becoming blood brothers is usually done in a ceremony, known as a blood oath. This is where each person makes a small cut, usually on their finger, hand or forearm, and presses them together before they are bound. The idea behind this is that each person's blood now flows in the other participant's veins, making them family. So there you go, Rock and Reigns are related if you look at things from a Samoan persuasion, but they aren't if you take things from a familial standpoint.
