      @alvinnarciso6130 Před rokem +7

      They aren’t actually related. Roman and the Rocks grandfathers were “blood brothers” due to being very close. The rocks grandfather was accepted into the anoa’i tribe due to loyalty. Just to make it simple they refer to themselves as cousins.
      Also fun fact the Usos and Reigns aren’t cousins. Roman is actually their uncle.
