It seems that just about everybody in WWE these days is related to The Rock, and the promotion aren't shy about letting us know. The rub in popularity The Great One can potentially afford any of his many wrestling relations makes it almost impossible to resist mentioning his familial ties for even the flimsiest of reasons.

Nia Jax is an exception to this rule. Whether being pushed as a dominant heel or a sympathetic babyface - it depends what day of the week it is - the fact she is The Rock's cousin is rarely mentioned. Unlike a certain other cousin of his (and look how popular that made him).

Of course, they'll go down this route eventually, and Mackel and co. won't be able to stop themselves babbling on about her family legacy. It'll be Nia on unbearable. (Like that pun).

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
