The answer is yes, but not in the way you might think.

The Ancestry: Belonging to the Anoa’i Family

Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns are both part of the Anoa’i family, a Samoan-American wrestling dynasty that has produced many famous wrestlers over the years. The Anoa’i family traces its roots to Amituana’i Anoa’i and his wife, Tovale Anoa’i, who had six sons and five daughters. All of their sons became wrestlers, and some of their daughters married wrestlers. Their descendants include wrestlers such as Peter Maivia, Afa and Sika Anoa’i, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Umaga, The Usos, Nia Jax, and Tamina Snuka

Dwayne Johnson is the grandson of Peter Maivia, who was Amituana’i Anoa’i’s blood brother and was adopted into the Anoa’i family. Peter Maivia was a legendary wrestler who competed in various promotions, including the WWWF (World Wide Wrestling Federation), the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance), and the NJPW (New Japan Pro-Wrestling). He was also the first Samoan to wrestle in a main event at Madison Square Garden. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008 by his grandson, Dwayne Johnson

Roman Reigns is the son of Sika Anoa’i, who is one of the six sons of Amituana’i Anoa’i. Sika Anoa’i was a tag team specialist who formed The Wild Samoans with his brother, Afa Anoa’i. The Wild Samoans were one of the most dominant and feared tag teams in wrestling history, winning 21 tag team championships in various promotions, including the WWF (World Wrestling Federation), the NWA, and the WCW (World Championship Wrestling). They were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007 by their sons, Samu and Matt Anoa’i

The Relationship: Cousins by Marriage

Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns are cousins by marriage, not by blood. This means that they are related through their spouses, not through their parents. Dwayne Johnson is married to Lauren Hashian, who is the daughter of John Thomas Hashian and Suzanne Hashian. John Thomas Hashian is the cousin of Joseph Anoa’i, who is the father of Roman Reigns. Therefore, Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns are cousins-in-law

Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns have a close and respectful relationship, both in and out of the ring. They have supported each other’s careers and personal lives, and have expressed their admiration and love for each other on social media and in interviews. They have also teamed up and faced off in some memorable matches, such as the 2015 Royal Rumble, where Dwayne Johnson helped Roman Reigns win the match and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and the 2023 WrestleMania, where Roman Reigns defeated Dwayne Johnson in a dream match for the WWE Universal Championship

The Conclusion: More Than Just Wrestlers

Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns are more than just wrestlers. They are family members who share a common ancestry, a common passion, and a common bond. They are both proud of their Samoan heritage and their Anoa’i legacy, and they both represent their family with honor and respect. They are not only related by marriage, but also by friendship and brotherhood. They are not just cousins, they are brothers. And they are here to stay.
