The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns is currently the face of WWE. He has already broken several records in the pro wrestling promotion, and he’s still far away from dropping his title anytime soon. As a result, he always manages to stay on the top charts.
As The Bloodline got utterly demolished at The Money in the Bank, earlier this month, the fans became eager to know about the family of The Tribal Chief. Consequently, the name of Jacob Fatu has recently caught a lot of limelight and fans are keen to know the relation between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu.
Jacob Fatu is one of the members of the famous Anoa’i family. He’s the son of Sam Fatu and used to be a part of WWE under the name of The Tonga Kid. Jacob’s father was already an accomplished pro wrestler, but he was majorly trained by Rikishi in his younger days.
However, he never got a chance to showcase his skills in WWE but he had a successful pro wrestler across various different promotions such as Major League Wrestling, The Crash Lucha Libre, and more. Nevertheless, he never fails to show his interest in Stamford-based promotion. Consequently, he’s the cousin of The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns as well as The Usos.
How is Jacob Fatu related to Rikishi?
It’s been stated that Rikishi trained Jacob Fatu before he landed in the pro wrestling business. In addition to his guidance, Sinn Bodhi and Black Pearl also trained the Major League Wrestling superstar and played a major role in his success.
As we stated earlier, The Samoan Werewolf is the son of Sam Fatu. However, the major turning point in his life came when he was arrested on a charge of robbery at the young age of 18 years. During his time in the prison, he watched The Usos fighting on television and he decided to pursue a career in pro wrestling.
However, talking about his relationship with the WWE Hall of Famer, Jacob Fatu is the nephew of Rikishi and The Usos are his cousin brothers. Rikishi has two brothers, Sam Fatu (Tonga Kid) and Edward Fatu (Umaga).
Rikishi married Talisua Fuavai and he has five children with her. They are the parents of Jonathan Fatu (Jimmy Uso), Joshua Fatu (Jey Uso), Thavana Monalisa, Jeremiah Peniata, and Joseph Fatu (Solo Sikoa).
