We are just a week away from one of the biggest WrestleMania in the history of WWE. A lot is on the line with WrestleMania XL. However, the most important thing that is the talk of the town is legacy. Both Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes have a legacy to uphold. While Roman Reigns is fighting for the respect of the Anoa’i Family, one of the biggest wrestling families, Rhodes is fighting for his father, the late Dusty Rhodes’s legacy. What else makes this WrestleMania so important is that this will mark the fourth time Reigns will be main-eventing WrestleMania. So with such a great honor, who should fans expect to see from the Anoa’i Family on April 6 and 7?

Roman Reigns and his special reinforcement

While Jimmy Uso and Solo Siko are usually there to have the Tribal Chief’s back, they might be caught up as Jimmy Uso will fight against his brother Jey Uso at WrestleMania XL. Therefore, he might have a special reinforcement that night. The special reinforcement could be his cousins Zila Fatu and Jacob Fatu.

In the past, Jacob Fatu has been a part of WWE. While his time at WWE was riddled with dark matches, he had the opportunity to face against Shane McMahon on an episode of Raw back in 2019. He was ambushed by Drew McIntyre and was in turn saved by his cousin, Reigns. It could be possible that he might want to repay his cousin. Another name, Zilla Fatu could be seen in or around the ring during the main event.

The son of the legendary WWE star Umaga, he has reportedly parted ways with Booker T’s indie circuit and is usually seen partnering with his cousin Jacob Fatu on various indie circuits. The chances of these two showing up as additional reinforcements are low but not zero.

But since it is a big night for the Samoan Dynasty, will fans get to see any elders on Night 1 and Night 2?

One of the elders from the family, Rikishi has been closely following the Bloodline story at WWE. Not only that, he keeps a keen eye on his fellow Samoan nieces and nephews and supports them whenever necessary. However, he might consider coming to the main event to support his baby cousin brother. Apart from that, it is a big event for the Anoa’i Family as the Usos will also be facing each other which is said to be a grand spectacle.

To watch the spectacle of both nights being dominated by the Soamons, another elder from the family whom fans could expect to see could be Sika Anoa’i who happens to be Roman Reigns’ father. He might be accompanied by another elder, Ata Johnson who happens to be Dwayne Johnson’s mother. Since Dwayne Johnson will be performing, his younger daughters might also be present since he shared they haven’t seen him in action. Have we missed anyone? Let us know in the comments below who you think will be present to show support to the Anoa’i Family.
