The wrestling business may be about to welcome a second generation of Tatanka’s family. Joseph, son of the former WWE star, is set to receive a WWE tryout during SummerSlam weekend, and his brother Jeremiah is also in the mix.
The two have been sharpening their skills at the Dungeon 2.0, the training facility associated with the Hart family legacy, working alongside notable names including Nattie, TJ Wilson, and Rey Mysterio — a strong collection of mentors for any up-and-coming talent.
Tatanka himself took to Facebook to express his pride in his sons, writing, “So proud of our boys! There’s nothing you both can not accomplish!” The post signals just how meaningful this opportunity is for the family.
Tatanka, whose real name is Chris Chavis, had a memorable run in WWE during the 1990s, built around his Native American heritage and an undefeated streak that made him one of the more recognizable mid-card figures of the era. The prospect of his sons following him into the company adds a compelling layer to what is already an intriguing story.
SummerSlam weekend has long served as a prime opportunity for WWE to hold open tryouts alongside its biggest annual event, giving prospects a chance to perform in front of key decision-makers. Whether Joseph and Jeremiah ultimately earn developmental contracts remains to be seen, but the combination of their lineage and the caliber of coaches they’ve worked with suggests they’ll arrive well-prepared for the opportunity.
