Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson is the greatest entertainer the world of pro wrestling has ever seen. His relationship with Roman Reigns (real name Joe Anoa’i) is well known to WWE fans. But we wonder if they are related to each other since wrestling does not always tell us the true nature of their relationship.
Proud of my cousin @WWERomanReigns’ performance. Even more proud of his perseverance & strength as he takes one day at a time to recover from leukemia.
Good to be with him in the islands during this time. #HobbsAndShaw https://t.co/Cj3XITCBF8— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) January 27, 2019
