For years, WWE has witnessed the dominance of The Bloodline, consisting of Roman Reigns and The Usos, who have been leading the charge as an unbreakable force. Their bond has been the cornerstone of their success, with each member contributing significantly to their phenomenal run in the company.
The Usos, Jey and Jimmy, have held the SmackDown Tag Team Championships for over 600 days and the RAW Tag Team titles for nearly a year, a testament to their remarkable abilities in the ring. Their cousin, Roman Reigns, has been the reigning Universal Champion for almost 1000 days and has been the undisputed champion for over a year, making him one of the most dominant forces in WWE history.
Though they have been portrayed as cousins on television, The Usos revealed in an interview with Chris Van Vliet that Roman Reigns is, in fact, their uncle. However, in terms of their blood relations, they are actually Roman Reigns’ first cousins once removed, all being members of the illustrious Anoa’i family, renowned for their contributions to the wrestling industry.
The Anoa’i family has a rich legacy in professional wrestling, with some of the greatest names in the sport tracing their roots back to the family, including legends like The Rock, Yokozuna, The Wild Samoans, and Umaga. The Usos’ father, Rikishi, is also a member of the family, who is a first cousin to Roman Reigns, further highlighting the close-knit bond shared between them.
Despite the precise details of their familial relationship, it is evident that The Bloodline’s bond is unbreakable and continues to be a dominant force in the WWE landscape. Fans worldwide have witnessed the impact of their performances and the way they have revolutionized the tag team and singles divisions in professional wrestling, forever securing their legacy in the industry.
