Roman Reigns says The Usos are “without question, the greatest tag team wrestlers alive”
While speaking to Nico Leonard ahead of WWE WrestleMania 42, Roman Reigns commented on his extended family’s involvement in professional wrestling…
“Me and my cousins are like twins—we’re all the same age, we grew up together. In the wrestling world, they’re known as The Usos. They’re the best tag team ever. If I’m considered one of the greatest singles wrestlers, these guys are, without question, the greatest tag team wrestlers alive.
Yeah, it started with my dad and my uncle, and then from there multiple generations of cousins—first cousins—got into it, and eventually me as well.
The Rock’s like another extension of the family where it all forms into one family tree. His grandfather was best friends with my grandfather, and one of my uncles as well. So our families, even before the business, were very tight, very close.
And once you break into the business together—Dwayne’s grandfather, the High Chief Peter Maivia—he’s the one that mentored my father and my uncle and taught them the ropes of the business. From there, it just completely bonded our families, and the history’s there.”
