WWE's product has inspired many young fans to lace up their boots over the past few decades and it appears that amongst those young fans were the sons of some of the company's former stars.

Over the years, there have been many second and third-generation Superstars who have tried to cut their teeth in the business that made their parents famous. While some stars didn't make it or were unable to emulate the same level of success as their father, there are others who have been just as successful and have proved that wrestling is in their DNA.

At present, there are a number of WWE children performing on the main roster, here are just seven of the sons of former WWE stars who are currently employees of Vince McMahon's company.

Bray Wyatt is currently one of the most exciting stars in WWE since he's become The Fiend in recent years, while his younger brother Bo Dallas' biggest success came when he was NXT Champion a few short years ago.

Bray Wyatt is a former WWE and Universal Champion and has already been able to prove that he's another star that has the business in his blood.

Dallas and Wyatt have never had the opportunity to work together on WWE TV, but it's become well-known that the two stars are brothers and that they come from a long line of wrestling legends.

The two stars' father, Irwin R. Schyster (IRS), was a massive star in WWE throughout the 1980s and 90s while their grandfather was Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan. The two star's sister Mika also works for WWE as a backstage producer. It appears that wrestling is definitely a family affair for the Rotundas.

#5. Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is the current WWE Universal Champion and a star who has been destined for greatness since he made his main roster debut back in 2012. Reigns initially debuted as a member of The Shield alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, before embarking on a singles run following their split back in 2014.

Over the past few years, Reigns has been pushed to the top of the company. He is a multi-time World Champion and a star who has main evented WrestleMania several times.

Reigns recently aligned with Paul Heyman on WWE TV. Upon his return, The Big Dog finally turned heel and looks to be embarking on his most successful run to date.

Reigns is a member of the famous Anoa'i wrestling family, the cousin of Jimmy and Jey Uso, the nephew of Rikishi and the son of WWE Hall of Famer Sika, who was one half of The Wild Samoans.

Sika has been spotted watching his son's matches from ringside in the past and is very outspoken about Reigns' current WWE career.

#4. Randy Orton

Randy Orton made his WWE debut almost two decades ago and is still one of the biggest stars in the company. Orton definitely has the business in his blood, after coming through the ranks thanks to his father 'Cowboy' Bob Orton.

Orton made his wrestling debut when he was 20 years old, before going on to become the youngest ever World Champion at 24 when he defeated Chris Benoit at SummerSlam 2004 to lift the Championship for the first time.

At present, Orton is part of a storyline where he has once again become the Legend Killer. The Viper will be looking to lift his 14th WWE World Championship at Clash of Champions when he takes on Drew McIntyre.

After a lengthy career, the Apex Predator has a long list of accolades. Orton is two time Royal Rumble winner, a triple crown champion and even the 2013 Mr. Money in the Bank.

Orton's career is far from over and The Viper is just three world Championship reigns away from equalling his mentor Ric Flair's long-standing WWE record.

#3 & #2. Jimmy and Jey Uso

Jimmy and Jey Uso found a route into WWE through their uncle Umaga. The former Tag Team Champions actually worked in a furniture store before being given the option to come on the road.

Umaga showed Jimmy and Jey the ropes before the two stars made their debut on the main roster back in 2010. The Usos have since dominated the WWE Tag Team Division and it has become publicly known that they are the sons of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi.

This is because it was Jimmy and Jey who inducted Rikishi into the Hall of Fame back in 2015 and the star has been able to share the ring with his two sons on a number of occasions.

At present, Jimmy Uso is sidelined with an ACL injury that he suffered during the Triple Threat Ladder Match at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. His brother Jey, on the other hand, is preparing to chaRllenge for the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns at Clash of Champions.

#1. Dominik Mysterio

Dominik Mysterio is the latest addition to this list. The son of current WWE star Rey Mysterio only signed a WWE contract back in August.

At present, Dominik is embroiled in a feud with former World Champion Seth Rollins. However, over the past year, he has been part of several storylines alongside his father, which have allowed him to work alongside the likes of Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe.

This isn't the first time that Mysterio has performed in front of the WWE cameras. Dominik was a part of the feud with his father and Eddie Guerrero back in 2005 when there was a battle for the custody of the then eight-year-old. Mysterio won their ladder match at SummerSlam that year, which allowed Dominik to return home with his father.

In recent years, Dominik has trained under the watchful eye of his father as well as Lance Storm. He is now a legitimate member of WWE's main roster, having skipped NXT and developmental. Dominik has already been presented as a massive star, with his debut against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam being praised fans, critics, and even by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
