#6. Roman Reigns’ cousin Black Pearl (Reno Anoa'i) never competed in WWE

A few of Roman Reigns’ cousins are quite well known to fans. However, Black Pearl is someone who hasn’t achieved the same level of success in the ring as his other family members.

He started his career in 2002 under the name of "Reno the Black Pearl" and competed for Empire Wrestling Federation and World Xtreme Wrestling.

In 2005, Black Pearl joined his cousin Rikishi in Nu-Wrestling Evolution. He won the NWE Heavyweight Championship soon after. He has never competed in WWE. However, he has made a name for himself outside the promotion.

#5. Late WWE Superstar Yokozuna (Rodney Anoa'i) competed in the company before Roman Reigns

Yokozuna started his wrestling career in 1984 and he was picked by WWE In 1992. He went into the 1993 Royal Rumble as the favorite to win the 30-man match and came out victorious.

At WrestleMania IX, he defeated Bret Hart to win the WWE Championship. He competed for the company until 1998, after which some heart conditions forced him to take a break from the ring.

He’s arguably one of Reign's most successful cousins who competed for the company. He was only 34 years of age when he passed away in 2000.
