So when do you think we'll get the debut of the 4th SHIELD member Rosey Reigns? Or better yet, a new team to oppose them, Rosey Reigns, Simon Dean and former guest host Seth Green all team up to form SWORD!

I'm glad they didn't hot shot anything with the rock considering their relation as well.

So far WWE has not mentioned that he's the son of a Hall of Famer, or that he is 'cousins' with the Rock or Yokozuna.
*The Anoaʻi/Fatu family considers the Maivias to be part of the family because Peter Maivia (Rock's granddad) was the 'blood brother' of Afa and Sika (Roman's dad). The Rock considers Afa and Sika to be his uncles and Yokozuna, Rikishi, Samu, Roman, etc. to be his cousins.

Roman Reigns reminds me of a jacked up pirate on the cover of a trashy romance novel. So if this Shield thing ever stops working for him he has that to fall back on at least.

So is he related to the Usos? Yes. He is their second cousin. Rikishi is Roman's first cousin as Rikishi is the son of Roman's aunt (Afa and Sika's sister). |

Wow did I not expect this at all. His brother was the shit. I should of expected this because it seems like every Samoan wrestler who worked in the WWE are all related. I would like to believe at one point Vince was excited on possibly signing Samoa Joe and phoned The Rock for his input and The Rock praised Samoa Joe's wrestling abilities and promos and presence. Then Vince was like "how is he personally?" With The Rock responding "I don't know I never met him" followed by Vince asking "wait you're not related to him?" The Rock says "yeah..." And Vince loses all interest in Samoa Joe

As I said in a SmackDown thread a few weeks ago:
Roman is part of Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta and Rosey was the Sierra Hotel India Tango.

His other brother Luther gets forgotten far too often.

I think his and commentaries not referencing his heritage has helped him quite a bit. I'd even mark for some sort of short confrontation between him and the Usos in which he reminds them he is his own man, and doesn't need to rely on tradition and family connections.

42% of all pro wrestlers are members of the Anoa'i family.

I don't think he'll have to fall back on that, call me crazy but I think he's going to be a star and regular main eventer. He's got the look (granted so did a lot of guys like Mason Ryan), but he's also got charisma, presence, he's not bad on the mic, that roar of his could be huge when he turns face (it gives the fans something to yell during his match), and he's been improving in the ring. |

I didn't know that. I didn't even know Tamina was the Rock's cousin until this year.
Can someone make a family tree?

I don't believe Tamina or Jimmy Snuka are actually physically related to the Anoa'i or Maivia families. All of those South Pacific wrestlers just kinda call themselves family and cousins simply because of their shared heritage. |

Isn't there a chart somewhere explaining all of the samoan relations in wrestling?

I'm now picturing Rosie in Shield gear yet he's still wearing the eye mask and the Hurricane towel as a cape.
