Read to learn how former WWE champion Roman Reigns and former Tag Team champions Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso are related to each other.
Former WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns managed to cement his legacy as one of the greatest ever to step inside the WWE squared circle. However, Roman Reigns is not the only one who has made his family proud by making a name in the world of professional wrestling.
The WWE star belongs to one of the greatest professional wrestling linguae, The Anoa'i Family. The wrestling family has given the industry some of the biggest names, including legends like Yokozuna, Rikishi, Wild Samoans, Rocky Johnson, megastars like The Rock and Roman Reigns, and some other names like Jey and Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and recently added Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa to the list. There are a lot of members of Anoa'i, Family tree, who are making their names other than in WWE.
The whole Anoa'i Family tree came to light when Roman Reigns introduced his The Tribal Chief gimmick and then formed a faction based on his family, adding his cousins Jey Uso and Jimmy. Later, Solo Sikoa joined the Bloodline.
Do you know Roman Reigns is actually not a cousin of Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso? Now, you might wonder how Roman Reigns is related to USOS. Roman Reigns is the son of Sika Anoa'i, who was part of the legendary WWE tag team Wild Samoan and Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Solo Sikoa are sons of former WWE superstar Rikishi.
Rikishi's father and Sika Anoa'i were actually biological brothers, which means Rikishi and Trible Chief Reigns are cousins' brothers, and Roman Reigns is technically the uncle of Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa.
