There are several current WWE Superstars whose siblings once worked for WWE

Over the years, there have been several WWE Superstars who have proved that wrestling is most definitely in the blood. Many children of former WWE legends have followed in their footsteps with the likes of Tamina, Natalya, Charlotte Flair and Dominik all currently performing on the main roster.

It isn't just parents and children who have been able to work together in the company over the years. There have also been a number of siblings performing for WWE at the same time. The Usos, The Bella Twins and Bray Wyatt & Bo Dallas made the main roster their home at one point. There are also many others who didn't work for the company at the same time.

The following list looks at just five current WWE superstars whose siblings also once wrestled for WWE.


#5. Dolph Ziggler's brother Ryan Nemeth was once contracted to WWE

Dolph Ziggler is a former world champion and one of the most popular stars in WWE. The Showoff has proven his worth in the company over the years and has become one of the highlights of SmackDown since his move to the brand.

Ziggler isn't the only member of his family who was gifted with the wrestling gene. His brother Ryan has made several recent appearances for AEW.

Ryan has been wrestling for over a decade since making his debut in 2010. During that time, he has been part of several wrestling companies, including WWE.

Back in 2011, Nemeth signed a developmental deal with WWE which saw him begin performing on their NXT brand under the ring name Briley Price. The star wrestled several matches for WWE and was part of the transition from FCW to NXT before his release in 2013.

Over the past few years, Nemeth has been performing on the Independent circuit before making his debut in All Elite Wrestling back in January. Nameth wrestles under his given name in AEW and his debut match was a loss to Hangman Adam Page.

Ziggler obviously keeps an eye on his brother's career whilst being contracted to WWE. The former WWE world champion tweeted to hype up his brother's AEW debut earlier this year.

#4. Tamina Snuka's brother James was once contracted to WWE

Tamina Snuka is one-half of the current WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, a title that she had to wait more than a decade to lift. Aside from the 24/7 Championship, this is the only title that Snuka has been able to hold in her lengthy career.

Snuka made her main roster debut for WWE back in 2010 as the manager of The Usos. Interestingly, Tamina's debut came just a year after her brother James was released from the company.

James was known as Deuce during his short tenure in WWE. He was one half of Deuce and Domino who went on to become tag team champions with the help of their manager Cherry. Deuce was part of the company from 2005 until 2009. After Deuce and Domino went their separate ways, he was unable to establish himself as a singles wrestler.

James has continued to wrestle on the independent circuit over the past few years, whilst his sister, Tamina, took over his WWE position.

#3. Paige's older brother Zak once wrestled for WWE

Despite not appearing on WWE TV for more than a year, Paige is still contracted to the company following her retirement in 2018.

The former Divas Champion was recently part of a movie that told the story of her family and her older brother Zak. Zak has been pushing for a career in WWE for most of his life.

Whilst the movie shows that Paige was able to get signed by WWE before debuting in NXT, her brother was part of WWE before Paige signed. Whilst Zak wasn't officially signed by the company like his sister, he did make an appearance on the SmackDown brand back in 2011.

Zak, Andy Baker and Tom LaRuffa appeared in a 3-on-1 handicap match against The Big Show where they were defeated. At the time, The Big Show was part of a feud with The World's Strongest Man Mark Henry.

Since the appearance, WWE has opted not to sign Zak to a contract and he has instead continued to wrestle on the independent circuit.

#2. Charlotte Flair's brother David made several appearances for WWE

Charlotte Flair has become the defining female WWE wrestler of the current generation. The daughter of two-time Hall of Famer Ric Flair has taken the WWE by storm. Less than a decade after signing with the company, she is already a 14-time Women's Champion.

That being said, Charlotte isn't the only child of Ric Flair who looked to follow in his footsteps. It's well-known that David Flair was contracted to WCW and made several appearances for the company.

When WCW was bought out by WWE in 2001, the company picked up Flair's contract and sent him to OVW. He went on to make two appearances on WWE TV the following year as part of his father's feud with The Undertaker.

His final appearance for the company came on March 14, 2002 when he wrestled The Undertaker ahead of WrestleMania X8. Flair later went on to work for IMPACT Wrestling, before officially announcing his retirement from the business in 2009.

#1. Roman Reigns' brother Matthew was once contracted to WWE

Roman Reigns is currently considered to be the biggest name in WWE. Whilst it's common knowledge that Reigns is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Sika, his brother Matthew was also once contracted to the company.

Matthew signed a contract with WWE in 2001 and later became part of a team called 3-Minute Warning.

Matthew wrestled under the ring name Rosey and went on to win the WWE Tag Team Championships with The Hurricane. He was later released from the company in 2006.

Matthew went on to work for All Japan Pro Wrestling. He was working alongside his father managing Epic Championship Wrestling in Florida when he passed away.

The former WWE star passed away in April 2017 due to congestive heart failure just 10 days after his 47th Birthday.

Roman Reigns was still pushing for his dream to be a football player when his brother was released from WWE. He has since been able to make the transition and is now the reigning Universal Champion.
