5 current WWE Superstars who won PPV matches against their real-life relatives

With the gargantuan and diverse brand that WWE is, it isn't a surprise that there are several Superstars who have a relative working in the same company. Over the years, there have been many clashes between members of the same family in WWE. If done right, they can become a storytelling paradise.

Some of the most memorable family feuds in WWE history were Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart and Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon, among others. Several current WWE stars have also faced off against their siblings or cousins, whether the company chose to acknowledge it or not.

This is pretty apt, considering Roman Reigns is set to defend the Universal Championship against his cousin, Jey Uso this Sunday at Clash of Champions. There have been many such matches in the past, pitting relatives against each other either in singles action or in a tag team match.

Here are five current WWE Superstars who hold pay-per-view victories over their real-life relatives.

#5 Angel Garza (vs. Humberto Carrillo at WWE Super ShowDown 2020)

Earlier this year, WWE brought Angel Garza to Monday Night RAW from NXT. This was likely done to keep Zelina Vega on TV during Andrade's suspension but somewhere along the way, Garza started looking like a future singles star in the company. His first rivalry came against a member of his own family.

He is the nephew of Hector Garza, as is Humberto Carrillo. The two of them are cousins and have even teamed up earlier in their careers before joining WWE. But they faced each other on multiple occasions in February.

Their biggest match against each other came at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. The two had a solid match on the show, with Garza winning in the end with a roll-up. Unfortunately for him and Carrillo, the crowd in Riyadh did not get into their match at all.

It still must have been quite a moment for the cousins to face each other on a WWE pay-per-view. Angel Garza could have a bright future as a WWE Superstar, as mayHumberto Carrillo, considering his age and in-ring talent.

#4 Roman Reigns (w/Seth Rollins vs. The Usos at WWE Money in the Bank 2013)

Roman Reigns is set to defend his Universal Championship against Jey Uso at Clash of Champions, but it wouldn't be his first pay-per-view title match against his cousin. Reigns, along with Seth Rollins, defended the WWE Tag Team Championship against The Usos at Money in the Bank 2013.

This match was significant for various reasons. As members of the legendary Anoa'i family, Reigns and the Usos have a huge history of WWE icons behind them in their lineage. This match helped to properly put Jimmy and Jey on the map in WWE, as their performance stood out.

While it may have only been on the Kickoff Show, a true crime considering the talent involved, not much was better on the entire Money in the Bank card than this match. Reigns and Rollins did The Shield proud with their Tag Team title run in 2013.

They did face off against The Usos again at Survivor Series later in the year, in a 5-on-5 Elimination Match. Jey Uso was also the first Superstar to pin Roman Reigns in WWE. However, he is extremely unlikely to repeat the feat on Sunday.

#3 The Undertaker (vs. Fake Undertaker at WWF SummerSlam 1994)

The Underfaker was Mark Calaway's cousin.

With a WWE career spanning around three decades, The Undertaker has wrestled countless Superstars across various eras in the company's history. He might still continue wrestling if Vince McMahon needs him to. So with all those miles covered in the business, Undertaker would surely end up working with somebody he was already related to, right?

Turns out that was the case and no, it is not Kane. The two of them were only brothers in storyline. The Undertaker took on his cousin, The Underfaker, at SummerSlam 1994. That's right, the impostor Undertaker was related to the real Deadman. Brian Lee and Mark Calaway are cousins in real life.

The two shared the ring at SummerSlam, in a match that was more about the spectacle than the action. It was hardly any good but did serve its purpose in establishing the babyface Undertaker as the real one. 'Taker may have enjoyed wrestling his cousin, but it was hardly a dream match, unlike many others he had and could have had in WWE.

Brian Lee wrestled for a variety of companies, including ECW and TNA. He even had another brief run in WWE during the Attitude Era, as Chainz. Lee impersonated his cousin once again in 1996, playing the role of The Undertaker in a Bollywood movie.

#2 Bo Dallas (w/Curtis Axel vs. Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy at WWE Extreme Rules 2018)

Sons of former WWF Superstar Mike Rotunda, or IRS, Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas are both among the more talented individuals in WWE today. While the former is thriving at the top of the card, the latter has hardly had much success in the company. Dallas is a former NXT Champion, but one could hardly tell with the way he has been booked.

However, he does hold bragging rights over his brother. While the two have never faced each other in a singles match on WWE TV, they did feud over the RAW Tag Team Championship once. Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel stunned the fans by defeating Wyatt and Matt Hardy to win the titles at Extreme Rules 2018.

He may have pinned Hardy to win the match, but it still counts as a victory over Wyatt. As the B-Team, Dallas and Axel continued to retain their RAW Tag Team Titles over the Deleters of Worlds during the summer. The former NXT Champion, however, did not get to pin his elder brother during this run.

This feud was the last one Bray Wyatt had before turning into The Fiend, so it can be said that Bo Dallas contributed in tipping him over the edge. It would be pretty cool if he were to resurface in WWE as part of Wyatt's Firefly Fun House.

#1 Jeff Hardy (vs. Matt Hardy at WWE Backlash 2009)

The Hardy Boyz have had quite the run over the past couple of decades. Their tag team reached legendary status and are guaranteed to enter the WWE Hall of Fame unless Matt Hardy remains in AEW for a long time. Both him and Jeff Hardy have enjoyed success as singles stars as well.

They have faced each other many times over the years, most notably in the Final Deletion in IMPACT Wrestling. Matt and Jeff did have a bitter rivalry in WWE as well, resulting in a couple of brutal matches on pay-per-view.

After costing Jeff Hardy the WWE Championship and admitting to being behind several horrible occurrences in his life, Matt Hardy defeated his brother at WrestleMania 25. The two had an Extreme Rules Match which ended with Matt hitting a Twist of Fate with a chair around Jeff's head.

However, this list is about current WWE stars defeating their relatives. That happened at the very next pay-per-view, Backlash. Jeff Hardy won a similarly brutal 'I Quit' Match, by tying his brother to a table and threatening to jump onto him from a tall ladder.

Despite winning the match after Matt quit, Jeff hit his brother with a leg drop through the table. This was representative of the careers of the Hardys as singles stars in WWE. Jeff Hardy would go on to win the World Heavyweight Championship shortly after this victory, while Matt Hardy toiled around in the midcard.
