Are WWE stars Roman Reigns and Nia Jax related?

Despite never having appeared on-screen together, Nia Jax and The Rock have a familial connection as second cousins once removed. Nia, a formidable presence in WWE, is related to The Great One through her father Joseph Fanene, who is the cousin of Peter Maivia, The Rock’s grandfather.

Roman Reigns, belonging to the Anoa’i family, shares a familial connection with The Irresistible Force. However, their relation is not hereditary. Despite coming from the same family tree, the two stars have no direct relation and are merely blood-related. Similarly, Reigns and the Rock are not related, but they share a bond as blood brothers, just like their ancestors.

The Anoa’i family is renowned in WWE and includes numerous past and present superstars such as Roman Reigns, The Rock, Nia Jax, the Usos, Solo Sikoa, and the late Umaga.

Nia Jax became a member of WWE in 2014 and remained with the organization for seven years. In 2021, she left the company, but made a comeback during the 2023 Royal Rumble. On the other hand, Reigns joined WWE in 2010 and has remained a part of the company ever since.

Nia Jax Open to Joining The Bloodline Faction in WWE

Guided by Roman Reigns, The Bloodline has reigned supreme in WWE for nearly four years. Recently, The Rock has aligned with the group and will join forces with The Tribal Chief to battle Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins on the first night of WrestleMania 40.

Nia Jax recently discussed the potential of joining The Bloodline, expressing her enthusiasm for the idea.

“If it worked out that way, I would have no problem. I am very loyal to my family. If they need me to have their back, I am 100% there. So, they know where to call me,”Jax said.

If Jax becomes a member of The Bloodline, she will follow in the footsteps of Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley and become the second top female superstar to join a faction in WWE. Ripley has already solidified her role as the leader of The Judgment Day.

Nia Jax’s Relationship with Roman Reigns

In May 2022, Nia Jax was questioned by a fan about her recognition of Roman Reigns, to which she gave a straightforward response: “I don’t.”

At the time, WWE had released the former women’s champion. Meanwhile, Reigns continued to dominate the competition, having become the Universal Champion in August 2020.

The Tribal Chief is set to defend his title against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 next week. However, it appears that Nia Jax will not be featured on the card after concluding her feud with Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch.
