6 Siblings who were never in a tag team in WWE

There have been several tag teams composed of siblings in the history of pro wrestling and WWE, with the likes of the Steiner Brothers, Hardy Boyz, and more recently, The Usos. Many of these siblings have trained with each other from a young age, which has resulted in them being tag teams in WWE.

But, there have also been many siblings who have never teamed with each other in WWE, while some fans don't even know that they are siblings in real-life.

Here, we take a look at 6 siblings who were never in a tag team in WWE:

#6 Bray Wyatt-Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt on NXT

Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas are the sons of the legendary Mike Rotunda, or IRS, as he was popularly known in WWE. Wyatt and Dallas followed the footsteps of their father and grandfather, the late Blackjack Mulligan, and began training to become pro wrestlers from a young age.

Wyatt and Dallas both wrestled in FCW, the then developmental territory of WWE before Wyatt was called up to the main roster. Dallas joined NXT when it became WWE's feeder and developmental system and was called up to the main roster in 2014.

The brothers tag teamed in FCW when Dallas went by the ring name Bo Rotundo, and they even held the FCW Florida Tag Team titles twice, when they were known as The Rotundos. But the duo have never teamed together on the main roster, with Dallas mainly teaming with Curtis Axel on the main roster, while Wyatt was a part of The Wyatt Family, and then briefly teamed with Matt Hardy.

WWE haven't acknowledged that the two are brothers on WWE television, which perhaps indicates that they may never be revealed as brothers on screen, and they may not team up in WWE.

#5 Road Warrior Animal-John Laurinaitis

Road Warrior Animal and brother John Laurinaitis

Many fans would not know that one-half of the legendary Road Warriors tag team, Animal, is the brother of backstage and former on-screen personality, John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis went by the ring name Johnny Ace when he wrestled in AJPW way back in the 90s and was briefly a part of WCW before it was sold to WWE.

Laurinaitis is the younger brother of Road Warrior Animal, who wrestled in WWE in the 2000s when he teamed with Heidenreich. But, Laurinaitis and Animal never had the chance to step in the ring together, mostly because Animal was not active in WWE when Laurinaitis had a few matches during his feud with John Cena.

Animal's last match in WWE was back in 2012, when he faced Heath Slater on SmackDown, ahead of RAW's 1000th episode.

It's unlikely that these two will ever get to team together in a WWE ring, considering neither of them has been on-screen in WWE for a while, while they are also nearing their 60s.

#4 Eric Angle-Kurt Angle

Kurt Angle and real-life brother Eric in the early 2000s

Kurt Angle is regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step foot in a pro wrestling ring. But his brother Eric wasn't that gifted in the squared circle. Eric Angle was roped in by WWE in 2000, to help his brother Kurt in his feud with The Undertaker.

He was then signed by WWE on a developmental contract to better his in-ring ability. But, Eric Angle's matches in WWE were restricted just to OVW, the developmental territory that he was sent to by WWE.

This meant that Eric and Kurt could never team up together in a WWE ring. The former had just a handful of matches in OVW, before being released by WWE in 2003. Eric tried his hand at independent wrestling, but he had just a few matches there as well before retiring.

Eric, though, played a key part in his brother's feud with Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, helping Kurt keep the belt during his feud with The Beast.

#3 Rikishi-Umaga

Rikishi and Umaga

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi is one of the many from the Anoaʻi family to wrestle in WWE. Not many would know that the late Umaga, who sadly passed away in 2009, was Rikishi's older brother.

Unlike Rikishi's sons, Jey and Jimmy Uso, the WWE legend never got to team up with his real-life brother, Umaga. Rikishi signed with WWE way back in 1992, being a part of the company during the Monday Night Wars with WCW, before leaving in 2004. He has since made a few special appearances on WWE television.

Rikishi's brother Umaga signed with WWE in 2001 and went by the ring name Jamal. But, he didn't quite cut it and was released. He returned to WWE a few years later in 2005 and went by the ring name Umaga. His second run with WWE was much better, with him even being involved in a feud with John Cena for the WWE Championship.

Rikishi and Umaga were never in a tag team as Umaga's rise to popularity in WWE came at a time when Rikishi wasn't in WWE.

#2 Dolph Ziggler-Briley Pierce

Briley Pierce, the brother of current WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler has achieved a lot in his WWE career, which began way back in 2004, and is perhaps coming to the end of his career. Ziggler came through WWE's developmental territory, OVW, before debuting on RAW in 2005. After a brief run as Chavo Guerrero's caddy and then a part of The Spirit Squad, Ziggler's character underwent a major change, and he was now known as Dolph Ziggler in 2008.

Ziggler's brother Ryan Nemeth, who went by the ring name Briley Pierce, was also a part of OVW, undergoing the same journey as his older brother. He was then signed up by WWE and placed in FCW in 2011, before debuting on NXT a year later. He was first roped in as an interviewer, before debuting in the ring.

But, unlike Ziggler, the Briley Pierce character did not gather much steam and wasn't well-received, and he was released by WWE in 2013. The Nemeth brothers did not get the opportunity to team up in WWE.

#1 Roman Reigns-Rosey

Roman Reigns and his late brother, Rosey

Another set of brothers from the Anoaʻi family make it to this list. Roman Reigns is regarded as one of the top dogs in WWE currently, while his older brother, the late Rosey, also had a run with WWE in the early 2000s. Rosey, who sadly passed away in 2017, was in a tag team with his real-life cousin Umaga, as part of 3-Minute Warning in the early 2000s.

That tag team did not last long, and later Rosey teamed up with The Hurricane, and the duo even held the tag team titles once.

But, Rosey was soon released, following which he wrestled in the indie circuit until his sad demise.

Roman Reigns began his pro wrestling career much later, signing with WWE in 2010, learning his trade in FCW, before being a big splash on the main roster with The Shield. Reigns never shared a ring with his brother Rosey, which is pretty sad as they would have probably made a good partnership on WWE television.
