The Anoa’i family is one of the most popular families in the history of professional wrestling. The Anoa’i family needs absolutely no introduction and has given professional wrestling several larger-than-life superstars who personify the global juggernaut, WWE.
The rich history of World Wrestling Entertainment has been graced by several Samoan wrestlers who have redefined professional wrestling, whether you talk about The Final Boss, The Rock or The Head of the Table, Roman Reigns, The Usos, and many more. Having said that, let us take a look at Anoa’i family members on the WWE Roster today:
1. Roman Reigns:The Biggest Draw from the Anoa’i Family today
The biggest megastar from the Anoa’i family in the modern era is The Head of the Table, Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns comes among the pantheons in the history of WWE legends for his exceptional hard work and perseverance. The Tribal Chief is in a league of his own, and with his run in The Bloodline Saga, he has made himself untouchable and oozes pure charisma and an ability only a rare individual can possess.
Taking into consideration all aspects of professional wrestling such as in-ring methodology, microphone skills, the overall body of the work, connection with the fans, and financial successes, Roman Reigns could be ranked at the top amongst the most popular and iconic WWE megastars.
2. Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa is the younger brother of the former Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos. Solo made his WWE debut at the NXT Heatwave episode in 2021. Solo would then win the NXT North American Championship and made his main roster debut at WWE Clash at the Castle PLE 2022, assisting Roman Reigns against Drew McIntyre.
Solo Sikoa has now formed a new Bloodline after Roman Reigns’ absence from WWE after his colossal loss at WrestleMania 40 and recruited Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, and Tonga Loa. The former NXT North American Champion has been leading the charge for Bloodline in Reigns’ absence and has christened himself as the new Head of the Table.
3. The Usos
The Usos comprises the twin brothers Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso, the sons of WWE legend Rikishi. They made their WWE debut in 2010 alongside their cousin Tamina Snuka. The Usos are arguably one of the best tag teams of all time in the history of professional wrestling.
The Usos have won the WWE tag team Championships on six different occasions and carried the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships for almost a year in 2022. The Usos have laid the foundation for future generations of tag teams to follow and now have been seen making their names as singles competitors.
4. Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa
Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa are real-life brothers who debuted on the WWE television a month apart. Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa joined Solo Sikoa and were inducted under The new Bloodline. Both of these WWE Superstars made significant statements upon their WWE television debut.
