5 things you didn't know about Nia Jax

#2 Her cousin is the Great One

Roman Reigns is also Nia’s cousin

It's always nice to be close to a WWE legend and it’s even better to be related to one.

Nia Jax has wrestling royalty in her blood. She's an esteemed member of the Anoa'i family that consists of famous names like The Rock, Roman Reigns, Rikishi and the Usos. The Samoan dynasty is probably one of the most famous family trees in the entirety of wrestling.

Jax is known to be very close with The Rock's mother Ata Maivia-Johnson.

It was her family ties with The Rock that gave Jax an easy route into the wrestling school owned by WWE Hall of Famer Afa. She trained there first before The Rock fast-tracked her to NXT tryouts.
