WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) now a days is known to be a “FAMILY- FRIENDLY” organization. But what some people fail to realize is that the WWE has been family oriented since the beginning.
In fact, some if not, most of the wrestlers and Divas today have a legacy to up hold due to their family heritage.
Let’s dive right into it!
Curtis Axel, formerly know as Michael McGillicutty from the infamous group The Nexus, is actually the Son of WWE Hall of Famer and former Intercontinental Champion, the late “Mr. Perfect” Curtis Hennig. He is also the Grandson of Larry “The Axel” Hennig, hence Curtis Axel’s name. Curtis (His Father’s name) and Axel (His grandfather’s nick name).

Enilightend Yet? Well let me hit you with this one. “The People’s champ” The Rock is the cousin of WWE superstar and Member of the Sheild, Roman Reigns. Reigns is also the brother of former WWE Superstar Matt Anoa’i (better known as Rosey). Rosey was apart of a tag team called 3 Minute Warning with his Late Cousin Edward Fatu (better known as Umaga). Fatu is the brother of Sam (The Tonga Kid) and Solofa (Rikishi) Fatu, who are twins. Rikishi (Solofa) is the father of current wwe Tag Team, The Usos.
