Nia Jax is the cousin of The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso). Their familial ties are rooted in the extensive and legendary Anoaʻi family, a prominent dynasty within professional wrestling.
This connection places them within one of the most influential wrestling families globally, which has produced numerous WWE Hall of Famers and champions over several generations.
The Anoaʻi Family Connection
The Anoaʻi family is known for its deep-seated legacy in sports entertainment. The relationship between Nia Jax and The Usos can be traced through the intricate branches of this famous lineage:
- Nia Jax (Savelina Fanene) is related to the Anoaʻi family through her father, Joseph Fanene, who is the nephew of "High Chief" Peter Maivia. Peter Maivia was considered a blood brother to Amituana Anoaʻi, the patriarch of the Anoaʻi family. This extended family connection makes Nia Jax a cousin to many members of the Anoaʻi wrestling dynasty.
- The Usos (Jonathan Fatu and Joshua Fatu) are the sons of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi (Solofa Fatu Jr.). Rikishi is a direct member of the Anoaʻi family, being the son of Sika Anoaʻi, one half of the legendary Wild Samoans tag team.
Their shared ancestry within this powerful wrestling lineage establishes them as cousins in the broader family structure.
