WWE has managed to create some rather interesting on-screen relationships that appear extremely believable to the fans. However, outside the ring, several WWE Superstars are related to each other in real life.
Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas’ real-life relationship is well known, while The Hart Family also gave us some top WWE Superstars over the years. Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik are currently involved in one of the top rivalries on WWE RAW.
That’s not all, several members of the Anoa’i family have also been part of WWE over the years, and Superstars such as Roman Reigns, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Nia Jax, and Umaga are all related to one another.
However, several relationships aren’t very obvious to the WWE Universe. In this article, we will look at 12 former and current WWE Superstars who are related to one another in real life.
#5 Former WWE Superstar Aiden English is related to the late Eddie Guerrero
Former NXT Tag Team Champion Aiden English had a good stint in WWE, and he is likely to be remembered for his involvement in Rusev Day’s success. English was a part of the company for almost eight years, but WWE was forced to release him from his contract in 2020 due to budget cuts owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In late 2014, English got engaged to former professional wrestler Shaul Guerrero. For those of you who don’t know, Shaul is the daughter of Vickie Guerrero and the late Eddie Guerrero. Shaul has also competed for WWE in the past for its NXT brand. The two even tied the knot in early 2016.
Former WWE Champion Eddie was one of the finest workers in the ring, and he inspired a generation of WWE Superstars.
Vickie, on the other hand, will be remembered in WWE for her managerial roles and managing to draw massive heat every time she picked up a microphone. She recently signed with WWE’s rival All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
While Eddie never got a chance to meet his son-in-law as he passed away in November 2005, English has penned a beautiful tribute to his late father-in-law following his marriage to Shaul.
#4 WWE Hall of Famer The Sheik is related to Sabu
The Sheik was one of the first few wrestlers Vince McMahon signed to become a WWE Superstar when he formed the company in the 1960s. He was also someone who was trusted to feud with WWE legend Bruno Sammartino early on.
Sheik was a big attraction in WWE and had two successful reigns as the United States Heavyweight Champion. His reigns allowed him to become a major name for the company, and he had a few stints with WWE during his career.
Many WWE fans may be unaware that The Sheik is also the real-life uncle of ECW legend Sabu. Sabu has had a successful career in ECW, along with several other promotions during his lengthy career.
Sheik passed away in 2003, but his nephew continues to compete for IMPACT Wrestling where he has had some great matches.
In 2007, Sabu and Rob Van Dam inducted The Sheik into the WWE Hall of Fame. The induction ensured the Sheik’s contribution to professional wrestling was acknowledged by the largest wrestling promotion in the world.
#3 Current WWE Superstars Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza are related
Humberto Carrillo moved to WWE RAW late last year after he impressed everyone with his performances in 205 Live. The move resulted in getting him some big matches, including one against then WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins and AJ Styles.
There were rumors that Paul Heylman was looking to push the young man to great heights on Monday Nights, but things did not go as planned.
Another Mexican wrestler made his way from 205 Live to NXT and then to RAW. Angel Garza, managed by Zelina Vega, started finding success on RAW soon after he lost his WWE NXT Cruiserweight Championship.
While we've seen them compete against each other in WWE, they are actually cousins in real life and are seen as two future megastars from Mexico.
Carrillo and Garza's grandfather, Mike Segura, also known as "El Ninja", was a well-known Mexican professional wrestler.
Several members of their family are also professional wrestlers who've managed to make a name for themselves in the industry, including Hector Garza, who once worked for WWE.
#2 WWE legend The Undertaker is related to his imposter Brian Lee
The Undertaker may very well go down in history as the greatest wrestler of all time. For three decades, his aura and gimmick allowed him to stay on top of WWE for most of his career.
The Undertaker was part of several storylines during his career, including one where he came face-to-face with an impostor. Impostor Undertaker was brought in by “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DeBiase in 1994, and the two had a few matches in the company.
While fans may be well aware of this rivalry, what’s more interesting is the fact that the man who played the character of impostor Undertaker is a cousin of the real Undertaker.
Brian Lee went out of WWE after his rivalry with The Deadman and returned in 1997 for another short stint as Chainz, a member of the biker faction Disciples of Apocalypse (DOA). The Harris Brothers were also part of DOA, who are also the real-life cousins of Brian Lee.
#1 Former WWE Superstars The Bella Twins are related to John Laurinaitis and Road Warrior Animal
John Laurinaitis is a big name in the wrestling industry, even though he did not find the same level of success in the ring as his brother, Road Warrior Animal. For some of you who don't know, Laurinaitis and Animal are blood brothers, and the former found more success in All Japan Pro Wrestling rather than WWE.
Animal won several titles during his time in WWE, while Laurinaitis is mostly known for his backstage role in the company and for being the on-screen General Manager.
What's more interesting here is the fact that John Laurinaitis is the stepfather of Brie Bella and Nikki Bella and Animal is their step-uncle.
The Bella Twins' mother Kathy Colace is married to John Laurinaitis, and the two have managed to keep their private lives to themselves for the most part.
While it's been good discovering the several current and former WWE Superstars are related to each other, this is one of the most interesting relations on the list.
