Is The Iron Sheik The Rock’s uncle?

Is The Iron Sheik The Rock’s uncle? – No, The Rock’s uncle is not The Iron Sheik. Peter Maivia Jr. is The Rock’s uncle.

The Rock wished WWE icon The Iron Sheik a happy 80th birthday in 2022.

Sheik said on Twitter that he will watch the sitcom ‘Young Rock’ as part of his birthday celebrations.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson noticed Sheik’s message and retweeted it, writing, “Happy Birthday Uncle Sheiky Bubba.”

The Rock addressing The Sheik as an uncle raised the possibility that they were connected. They are, however, completely unrelated.

The word “Jabroni” is also shared by The Rock and The Iron Sheik, with the former making the word very popular.

The phrase was coined by The Iron Sheik. During the documentary ‘The Sheik,’ The Rock even credited the WWE legend for this.

The Rock said, “Now the word jabroni is connected to me. When a lot of people think, ‘oh, jabroni, oh, yeah, yeah, it’s The Rock’s word.’ No, no, no, no. It’s not my word. It’s The Iron Sheik’s word.”

Sadly, Sheik passed away on June 7, 2023, at age 81.
