Are The Rock and Roman Reigns related?

Written by William Howard — 0 Views

Roman Reigns and The Rock are not blood-related, but they are related by the Anoa’i family. The Rock’s grandfather, “High Chief” Peter Maivia, was blood brothers with Roman Reigns’ great-grandfather, “Reverend” Amituana’i Anoa’i. This makes The Rock and Roman Reigns “cousins” by Samoan tradition.

The Rock’s father, Rocky Johnson, was a Black Canadian, and Roman Reigns’ mother, Patricia A. Anoa’i, was a white Italian. Despite their different racial backgrounds, The Rock and Roman Reigns have always been close and consider each other family.

In 2014, The Rock made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania XXX to help Roman Reigns win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The two men have continued to support each other’s careers, and they have even teased a potential match against each other in the future.

While The Rock and Roman Reigns are not blood-related, they are definitely family. They are both proud members of the Anoa’i family, and they are both committed to carrying on the family legacy in professional wrestling.
