10 WWE Wrestlers Fans Had No Idea Had Brothers

Siblings in professional wrestling are quite a common situation to see, with a lot of tag teams being created out of that, with The Usos being a great example. However, while there are plenty of siblings that fans are well aware of, there are just as many that the WWE Universe has no clue about.

For many, this is because their brothers are not involved in professional wrestling at all, often having entirely different lives that their wrestling siblings can respect and leave. This allows fans to be surprised when they find out that some of the biggest names in WWE happen to have brothers.

10 Randy Orton

Nathan and Randy Orton

Randy Orton has been a lot more open about his private life in recent times, with his wife and kids being something that a lot of WWE fans have been able to learn about. His wife, Kim Orton has appeared on an episode of Table For 3, while she also has her podcast, opening up the Orton family further.

However, what a lot of people don't know is that the Viper has a brother, Nathan. He is not in the wrestling business, therefore people aren't as aware of him, but he is in a different industry altogether, as he is a comedian.

9 Seth Rollins

It isn't just the WWE Universe that wasn't aware of the fact that Seth Rollins has a brother, as the former WWE Champion himself wasn't aware of that fact for the majority of his life. It wasn't until 2019 that he learned he had both a brother and a sibling, as he was connected to them later in life.

It was a piece of news the WWE Superstar was happy to learn about, and he shared that on Twitter at the time, but even though it was a cool story there are still a lot of people that aren't aware he has got a brother.

8 Finn Balor

Finn Balor's family

Finn Balor is a well-known name on the WWE roster, and he is someone that has been able to create a great level of fame for himself throughout his career. He has teamed up with plenty of 'good brothers' throughout his career during his days in the Bullet Club, but The Judgment Day star also has three real-life siblings.

Because they all live in Ireland, they are not people that he gets to see all the time, and that means many people don't know a lot about his brothers. However, whenever WWE is on tour, or he gets the chance to head home, Balor is sure to be seen hanging out with them.

7 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre finds himself in a very similar situation to Finn Balor in the sense that his sibling lives in another country which makes things difficult in terms of them being able to see each other in person. However, McIntyre is close with his sibling, and that is something that has been showcased in a few WWE videos.

The company pushed the family aspect of McIntyre's life during his push to becoming WWE Champion, but because all of this period came during the height of COVID-19, a lot of people overlooked or forgot about their relationship.

6 Brock Lesnar

Despite the fact Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest names of his generation, he also happens to be one of the most private people that WWE has ever pushed into the main event scene. The Beast might be an instantly recognizable figure in the public eye, but he keeps to himself, which is why people don't know much about his real life.

Away from the ring, Lesnar keeps away from the public, but he does have a brother called Chad Lesnar. The two of them get along, and they share a common bond when it comes to a love of hunting, which is something they do together at times.

5 John Cena

John Cena and his brother Cropped

John Cena is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, and fans know a lot about him as a person, but there are even aspects of his personal life that people don't know about. The fact that he has four siblings is one of those, with Cena coming from a family of all boys.

It isn't something that Cena brings up a lot when it comes to his interviews, and especially his WWE career, with this being a situation that likes to keep private. While his father has been heavily involved in some of his storylines, his brothers haven't, which is why many fans don't know about them.

4 Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch brother Cropped

Much like Becky Lynch, her brother Steve also has a love of professional wrestling, so much so that he tried to get into the business himself. He competed on the independent scene in Ireland, but he wasn't able to reach the same levels of success as his sister, and didn't end up continuing in the business.

Instead, Steve has ended up moving into art, which was a different passion for him and led to him having a lot of success. He created a career out of that world, while Lynch has been able to become a big name in professional wrestling.

3 Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks with her brother

On television, Sasha Banks has found her biggest success by portraying a heel who doesn't care about others, often acting like a bully. However, the reality is that in her real life she is the complete opposite of that, which has been showcased by the sweet relationship she has with her younger brother.

He is autistic, and that is something that Banks has worked hard to raise awareness for that, and their connection is a brilliant one. Sasha's brother is a huge wrestling fan and someone that supports his sister heavily, adding a lot to their bond.

2 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns and Rosey

Roman Reigns is one of the biggest names in WWE history, yet many fans still aren't aware that he had a sibling, and one who also happened to be a WWE Superstar. Unfortunately, his brother has passed away; Roman's sibling was Rosey, who used to team up with The Hurricane.

Their family is well known for bringing a lot to the wrestling world, with a lot of them heading into WWE which can now be seen with The Bloodline faction. Rosey was a key member of that, with Reigns now honoring his legacy inside the ring.

1 Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler And Ryan Nemeth

Dolph Ziggler is another WWE Superstar who just so happens to have a brother in the wrestling industry, and his sibling is actively competing to this day. However, a lot of people aren't aware of the connection he has to AEW's Ryan Nemeth, mainly because they work for different promotions.

The relationship isn't something that WWE nor AEW is going to bring up, and since they're not showcased together at any point it is something that a lot of casual fans simply aren't aware of, even though they're very close.
