Ranking the 10 best active second and third generation WWE Superstars

#2 Roman Reigns

The Big Dog is part of the famous Anoa’i family

Roman Reigns is The Rock’s cousin. If that’s news to you, you probably stumbled across this article by accident and are lost, because WWE has driven this point home throughout Reigns’ career.

But what they don’t focus on as much who his father was. Although Vince McMahon did mention it in the months leading up to WrestleMania 32, Roman’s father Sika Anoa’i of the Wild Samoans is not talked about nearly as much as The Rock, despite him being the father and one of the trainers of the Big Dog.

Reigns is likely the most successful member of the Anoa’i family and looks to have an illustrious career ahead of him. Despite many fans’ hatred of him, WWE continues to push Reigns to the moon, and for good reason. He’s one of the most well-rounded Superstars they have.

Reigns is quickly proving that he can put on good matches with anyone. His bouts with Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, and Braun Strowman, in particular, have been some of the best matches of their respective years. And his mic work, though still lacklustre, is far removed from the awful “tater tots” days of yesteryear.

The guy comes from a family of stars and is destined to remain one himself. And if it weren’t for the immediate and prolonged success of the one person above him on our list, he would easily be considered the best second/third-generation superstar in WWE today.
