The emergence of Ronda Rousey in WWE has given them another potential attraction to replace Brock Lesnar if he leaves the company later this year. Rousey not only has a strong following from her UFC career, but she broke into the mainstream celebrity world. The popularity of Rousey helped UFC grow as her name alone sold tickets and WWE Network subscriptions.

Maria Burns Ortiz is the sister of Rousey and plays a huge role in her life. The writing career of Ortiz saw her co-wrote Ronda’s autobiography titled My Fight/Your Fight. Maria has admitted that is not a fan of the UFC and only watched to witness her sister’s career.

The genetics in the Kanellis family have been impressive enough to give the world two stunning sisters. Maria Kanellis is the famous sister known for her time in the wrestling spotlight. WWE signed Maria at a young age after her Diva Search contributions. Following her release from WWE in 2010, Maria built her name up as a credible manager in Ring of Honor and New Japan.

The work of Maria on the free agent market saw her return to WWE with her husband Mike Kanellis. Maria is currently going through her first pregnancy with the couple’s first child. One person helping her with her pregnancy is her stunning sister Janny Kanellis. Janny was in the spotlight as a cheerleader at the University of Illinois. The most recent showing of Janny saw her taking part in the gender reveal of Mike and Maria’s future child.

Alicia Fox has been one of the few ladies to remain on the WWE roster over the past decade. The women’s roster usually sees change coming with departures and signings frequently changing things up. Fox is someone that has never left her role as a WWE talent and WWE respects her enough to not release her at this point.

The company respected Alicia to the point of hiring her athletic sister Christina Crawford. Some people believed Christina had more potential than Alicia if she ever made it to the WWE main roster. Crawford spent time in developmental and even received a chance to compete in the 2011 Tough Enough competition before finishing fourth. WWE eventually released Christina and she went on to become a cheerleader in the NFL.

11 Breanna Van Dale (Carmella's sister)

The main roster run of Carmella’s career has surprisingly see her rise to a top role. Carmella getting called up seemed to come out of nowhere since she wasn’t thriving in the women’s division like Bayley, Sasha Banks and the other top stars at the time. A heel turn on the SmackDown brand changed everything as her character work is extremely impressive.

WWE having Carmella win the first-ever women’s Money in the Bank ladder match showed how much faith they have in her. The family of Carmella must be proud witnessing her becoming a star on television every week. Carmella especially has a close relationship with her sister Breanna Van Dale. The look of Breanna could see her find her way into the entertainment world as well, but Carmella is the star of the family right now.

10 Hadassah Perry (Lana's sister)

Lana is still trying to make it in WWE as a wrestler despite the few matches to take place on television. WWE does believe in her as a manager and will likely keep her around in that role if she can’t prove her in-ring skills have improved. Lana has a background in various forms of entertainment such as dancing and acting. It could give her a route into other fields if WWE doesn’t pan out for her.

One project saw Lana create a YouTube parody series of a reality show with another actor pretending to be her sister. Lana does have a real sister named Hadassah Perry. The wedding of Lana and Rusev saw Hadassah show up to witness her sister’s big day. Hadassah Perry also has a dancing background like Lana proving the sisters share at least one bond.

The love of professional wrestling for Becky Lynch extended towards other members of her family. Becky had a lot of hardships before getting to WWE. It is the reason she has worked so many jobs throughout her life. Wrestling overseas on the independent circuit meant an extremely low percentage of getting signed by WWE during the early years of her career.

It all worked out for Lynch as she is now a WWE Superstar. However, Becky’s brother tried his hand in the wrestling industry and had a different ending. Lynch’s brother apparently wrestled under the name Gonzo de Mondo for a few years. Gonzo wrestled in the mid-2000s before giving it up in 2006. Becky’s career came after him and she luckily had breaks come at the right time to get to the WWE dream job.

Alexa Bliss has gone on the record that her mother is the person that gave her the tools needed to succeed in the WWE. Angela Kaufman is Bliss’ mother and she is very proud of her daughter. The birth of Alexa came at young ages for her parents bringing a child into the world. It is a success story for parents that young to make it through the difficult journey together and raise a child as successful as Bliss.

WWE uploaded a video showing the parents of Alexa discussing their daughter’s rise to the top of WWE. Many fans assumed Angela was the sister of Alexa rather than her mother given how young she is. There’s no doubt that Angela is one of the few WWE moms that can turn as many heads as her wrestling child.

Brie and Nikki Bella are known for being among the most famous pairs of siblings in the wrestling industry. They are certainly the most popular twins considering the amount of marketing they have used to succeed individually and collectively. Brie and Nikki continue to branch out in new projects together such as their BirdieBee clothing brand and Total Bellas reality show spin-off from Total Divas.

Total Bellas introduced us to another sibling in the Bella family. J.J. Garcia is the brother of Nikki and Brie and often spends time with his sisters. The show featured one moment where J.J. tried to talk future brother-in-law John Cena into hooking him up with a wrestling opportunity in WWE. Cena shut it down as he didn’t use his power to get anyone hired, not even family. J.J. will likely only sit in the crowd when at WWE shows.

6 Michelle Ouellet (Maryse's sister)

Maryse is about to star in a reality show with The Miz about their lives. It will be interesting to see them enter the world of parenthood together as Maryse is currently pregnant with the couple’s first child. Maryse had a strong run working with her husband on WWE television in recent years, but she was also a successful wrestler as a former Divas Champion.

Someone that could help Maryse in her new match with parenthood is her sister Michelle Ouellet. The stunning sister of Maryse looks gorgeous enough to make it in modeling like Maryse did before joining WWE. However, Michelle’s biggest task is raising her two children. Maryse having a child will bring another little one into family time of sister hangouts at the Ouellet homes.

The love of wrestling is something that everyone in Paige’s family seems to share. Paige’s parents Sweet Saraya and Ricky Knight raised all their children in the wrestling industry thanks to the family owned World Association of Wrestling promotion. Paige started wrestling as a teenager and made a name for herself to get signed by WWE in her early adult years.

Roy Bevis and Zak Frary are the brothers of Paige that also grew up wrestling at a young age hoping to make it to the mainstream. Unfortunately, they could not get a look by WWE, but their sister’s success gave them more attention. The family promotion is bigger thanks to Paige breaking out in WWE. Both Roy and Zak are attempting to create a legacy as a tag team known as The Hooligans.

The childhood of Sasha Banks was a rather tough one as she encountered many struggles growing up. Banks’ father left the family leaving her mother Judith Varnado to raise Sasha and a son suffering from autism. The family moved a lot as Judith had to find jobs to support her children. Banks has stated that her mother is the person most responsible for putting her in a position where she could chase her dream in wrestling.

Many fans are surprised to find out Sasha is bi-racial with her mother being white. That makes it a surprising realization whenever fans get a good look at Banks’ mom. WWE cameras have captured Judith crying her eyes out at some of Sasha’s biggest moments in the squared circles. Wrestling may be scripted, but the moments are as real as anything in life for a mother watching her child perform.

3 Matt Saccomanno (Mandy Rose’s brother)

The potential of Mandy Rose could see her become one of the top women’s wrestling stars if WWE’s wishes come true. Rose was intentionally kept off NXT TV due to WWE already knowing they wanted her on the main roster when an opportunity came up. The presence of Mandy has her fitting in on the Raw roster and getting more opportunities with Paige injured.

Rose has a very popular social media platform with over one million followers on Instagram alone. Anyone to follow Mandy knows she is close with her brothers. Matt Saccomanno is one of the brothers she spends time with when off the road. Rose often posts pics with her nieces and nephews that are Matt’s kids. The brother of Mandy is a former male cheerleader meaning he may have been athletic enough to join her in WWE.

2 David Flair (Charlotte Flair's brother)

The Flair family has seen many ups and downs through the years in the wrestling world. Most current wrestling fans know of Charlotte Flair’s incredible success in the women’s division along with her father Ric Flair being one of the all-time great legends of the ring. Reid Flair’s unfortunate death is a sadder moment for the Flair family that also comes up when discussing their struggles.

However, a forgotten chapter is the wrestling career of Charlotte’s brother David Flair. WCW gave David a great contract and a roster spot with minimal training. To make matters worse, David was placed into top level storylines right away thanks to the family name. Fans never viewed him as a credible performer and his wrestling career was over before it could begin. WWE even portrays Charlotte as the first child to follow Ric’s footsteps, but her brother David tried to no avail in WCW.

1 Amazing Red (Zelina Vega's cousin)

via impactwrestling.com/wwe.com

A lesser known relation between two wrestlers in the industry has Zelina Vega and Amazing Red as cousins. Vega is becoming one of the premiere managers in the wrestling industry after signing with NXT. The placement as Andrade “Cien” Almas’ manager helped him rise from a forgotten talent to the NXT Champion. Zelina doing the talking and adding to the overall presentation changed both of their careers for the best.

Vega trained originally as a wrestler and can mix it up with the ladies with NXT any time this is called upon her. Independent wrestling veteran Amazing Red is the cousin of Vega. Red made a name for himself on the independent circuit when the scene was rather weak. He stood out as someone that should have had a better career but never received the breaks. At least Red is getting to see his cousin represent the family in NXT.
