Several brother and sister tag teams have been able to make an impression in WWE over the past few years. The Hardy Boyz, Cody Rhodes and Goldust, The Bella Twins and The Usos have been a few siblings to feature in WWE, but whilst many siblings are able to work together within the company, there is always a small fraction that aren't given the same opportunity.

WWE has recruited a number of stars since their Performance Center became a huge hit and that includes the siblings of some of their current superstars. Wrestling isn't a talent that any person is born with and just because their brother or sister has made a career out of it, doesn't always guarantee that they will make the cut.

The following list looks at just five current WWE superstars whose siblings you didn't know once worked for WWE.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5. Alicia Fox

It's unknown what has actually happened with Alicia Fox, since there was no official announcement regarding her retirement from WWE, even though the former Divas Champion has been with the company for more than a decade.

Last year, Fox's profile was moved over to the alumni section of WWE.com, which was the only hint that the former Champion may have been done with WWE. That being said, you should never assume anything in the wrestling business.

Alicia Fox joins the list since many fans are unaware that her sister is also a professional wrestler who was once signed to WWE. Fox's sister Christina signed a developmental contract with WWE back in 2010 and started to work in FCW.

Christina became known under the ring name Caylee Turner and went on to become FCW Divas Champion in 2011. Turner made it as far as NXT and was a special ring announcer for one of the episodes of the show, but was released from her contract in August 2012 whilst still the FCW Divas Champion.

The Championship was vacated and then retired a few days later. Turner went on to become a Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleader the following year.

#4. Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt

It's become a well-known fact over the years that Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas are brothers, but they have never been able to work together on-screen, which is a shame since Dallas could have easily become part of Wyatt's alternate universe with The Fiend if he was given the chance.

Whilst these two brothers have been seen on the main roster of WWE over the past few years, WWE fans have speculated that their sister Mika could join them at any moment and be unveiled as Sister Abigail. This was something that was speculated throughout the Wyatt Family's reign. This rumor becomes even more believable when it is partnered with the fact that Mika currently works for WWE alongside her siblings even though she doesn't appear on screen.

Mika Rotunda currently works backstage in WWE as a production assistant, her father Mike Rotunda who was known as IRS throughout his WWE career, also works for WWE as one of their backstage producers. It appears that the whole Rotunda family is employed by the company at present.

#3. Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is one of the biggest stars in WWE at present, he has managed to rise through the company from FCW all the way through to WWE where he was one of the main stars of The Shield before going on to become a World Champion.

Reigns has main evented WrestleMania a number of times in the past and many fans have made light of the fact that this is because he is related to The Rock. With that being said, it is perhaps his Anoa'i roots that have allowed him to progress through the company so quickly but his brother Rosey wasn't given the same kind of opportunities.

Roman's brother Matthew joined WWE back in 2002 and became known as Rosey, who alongside Jamal, were called 3-Minute Warning. He later went on to team with The Hurricane and the duo became Tag Team champions once.

Rosey was released from WWE back in 2006, years before Reigns ever made his way to the company, and sadly the former tag team champion passed away back in 2017.

#2. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair has wrestling in her blood and WWE has made it clear that the former 10-time Women's Champion is the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, someone who has had a huge amount of input throughout her career.

Whilst it's common knowledge that Ric and Charlotte are related and her brother Reid Flair has been brought up in storylines in recent years, WWE hasn't connected former star David Flair with his sister.

Whilst Flair was perhaps best-known for his work on WCW, he was actually signed to WWE for around a year when WCW folded and WWE picked up his contract in 2001. During this time he only made two appearances on WWE TV, one where he was beaten up by The Undertaker on an episode of Raw in order to build up his father's match against The Deadman at WrestleMania X8.

The following week he wrestled The Deadman on WWE's flagship show but was then not seen on TV again. It should also be noted that Charlotte and David are only half brother and sister.

#1. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler has been signed to WWE for more than 16 years and in that time he has gone through a number of changes, from Kerwin White's caddie to Nicky of The Spirit Squad before he was unveiled as Dolph Ziggler in 2008.

Ziggler has since overcome a number of injuries to become both World Champion and a former Money in the Bank winner. But when his brother tried his hand at professional wrestling, it didn't garner the same result.

Ziggler's brother Ryan was signed by WWE back in 2011 and sent to FCW where he became known as Briley Pierce, whilst in WWE's developmental, he worked alongside the likes of Big E, Brad Maddox, Bo Dallas, and Bray Wyatt, before FCW became NXT.

Ryan made a handful of appearances on NXT throughout 2013 before he was released from his contract following the battle royal to determine the new number one contender to the NXT Championship on May 29th, 2013. Ryan returned to the independent circuit following his release, but hasn't been able to reach the same level of stardom as his older brother.
