Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu just had a heated clash at WWE Backlash, where “The Original Tribal Chief” got here out of the fundamental event with a hard-fought victory before being attacked by Fatu moments later. The Ano’ai family have been at the middle of many long run feuds since Reigns first became “The Tribal Chief,” but even his biggest fans still get a number of the relations and their ties incorrect.
During an appearance on the “Low cost Heat” podcast, Fatu clarified his relation to Reigns, despite the 2 often being known as cousins. “He’s really my uncle,” Fatu said. “Roman Reigns’ father, Sika – half of the best tag team, The Wild Samoans. … Afa and Sika have a sister – my grandmother. … That will make Roman my uncle.”
Despite their lineage, Fatu expressed that him and Reigns have all the time considered themselves one another’s cousins due to smaller age gap between them. Fatu then identified that Reigns can also be The Usos’ uncle as well, but even Jimmy and Jey have a cousin-type relationship with him as well. “My first Christmas, my first birthday, my first holidays were with the Usos,” Fatu said. “I’ve known Roman since we were young.” Fatu further explained that he was around when Reigns and The Usos were in highschool, and claimed that even then his cousins were all stars.
“You knew they were gonna be anyone; you simply felt it!” he recalled. “Man, you felt it a lot to where rattling, it kinda rubbed off on us, you already know what I mean?”
