Roman Reigns has earned a lot of acclaim throughout his latest run as the WWE Universal Champion. Most of his feuds since the latter half of 2020 have been intensely story-driven from start to finish. Meanwhile, Jey Uso's singles career has reached new heights ever since he got involved in The Tribal Chief's business.

While the two cousins are currently on the same page, they were involved in an emotional feud last year. Before Reigns and Uso fought at Clash of Champions 2020, WWE posted a few throwback pictures featuring both of them. Check out WWE's Instagram post below:

In the first picture, a young Roman Reigns looks almost unrecognizable compared to the modern-day Tribal Chief. Throughout his WWE career, Reigns has always sported long hair with a defined beard. Looking at him today, even a non-WWE fan can figure out that Reigns has been through several wars since the above picture was captured.

Additionally, the current version of Jey Uso has a grizzled look, which seems completely different from his appearance in the throwback image.
