The Anoa’i Dynasty! 

Man, Myth, Samoan. 


Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is THE Actor, THE Businessman, and seemingly, everybody’s Uncle. Challenging the definition of triple threat in the entertainment industry forever, he’s the Pacific Island performer who’s dominated the small and silver screen since 96’. Talking smack, chasing cheques and collecting aunties fatus along the way. But his success runs deeper than muscles & charisma. He’s a descendant of the Anoa’i family, a Samoan professional wrestling dynasty that is the most decorated family in the sports history. 

His Grandfather, who was also a professional wrestler, Pita Maiva, appeared as the Dodge Driver in the 1967 feature film “You only die twice.” The Rock’s own daughter Simone recently debuted for WWE, under the name of ‘Ava Raine.’ And yes -  you guessed it, even Roman Reigns (Joe Anoa’i) shares in this lineage. Peter Maiva’s brother, Reverend Amituanai is grandfather to Joe Anoa’i. Making the Rock and Roman Reigns Cousins (you know the ones), the same grandfather to ‘The Uso’s’, double act by Joshua Samuel Fatu and Jonathan Solofa Fatu, the cheeky duo who are widely regarded as the best wrestling pair in history, with their catchphrase “USO crazy”. 

It’s officially 4 generations of the Wrestlers as The Rock’s Daughter joins WWE!

WHICH ONE ARE YOU? 

MOSTLY A’s 

You are the legendary “High Chief” Peter Maivia. The Great grandfather. Patriarch to the family, you continue to break barriers for your family and future. Your interests are in the community, and most likely, whatever your younger siblings need help with.  




MOSTLY B’s

You are the soulful Rocky “Soul Man” Johnson. The Father of ‘The Rock.’ Your cousins steal all your music, your siblings keep stealing your style as it’s constantly sickening. You’re the original, the image for people to imitate. Future focus, your steeze tends to be appreciated later rather than currently, the people don’t quite get you yet.

MOSTLY C’s

You are the one and only Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The first third-generation superstar in WWE History, you’re driven, you’re powerful and destined for great things. Also, you’re probably BFN with bold facial expressions. Everyone’s got a crush on you, but the Aunties seem to be the most susceptible to your charm. 


MOSTLY D’s

You are the fourth generation “Ava Reine” Simone Johnson. The youngest of the family, you are the beginning of the new age and era of WWE. You are excited to bring the legacy of your career to life, motivated to change your own destiny, and open doors for those around you. You like to work alone, eat healthy and win big. 

Mostly E’s 

You are the fourth generation cheeky power duo Joshua and Jonathan Fatu, ‘The Uso’s’. You’re probably the youngest in your family, and have the cheek to answer back to your aunty when she asks you to do the dishes at Christmas. But there’s two sides to you, charisma and loyalty to your aiga. Making every family event a little more bright.
