On the islands of Samoa, everyone’s an “uso,” so apologies if some bloodlines get crossed in the lineage of the Anoa’i and Maivia wrestling families. Beginning with WWE Hall of Famer "High Chief" Peter Maivia and his wife, Lia, the family tree branches out to include such ring greats as “Soulman” Rocky Johnson, WWE tag team legends The Wild Samoans and The Usos. But out of all the World Tag Team Champions and WWE Hall of Famers this ancestry has produced, no Superstar was as revered as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Honoring his father and grandfather with his original ring name of Rocky Maivia, WWE's first third-generation competitor combined the power of the Anoa'i family with the swagger of the Maivias to become the most charismatic Superstar of all time.
