WWE star Roman Reigns is mourning the loss of his famous uncle, Afa Anoa’i, just weeks after his father’s passing. Afa, who was 81, was a WWE Hall of Famer and part of the Wild Samoans tag team with Reign’s father, Sika. Reigns expressed gratitude for the support and comfort during this difficult time, stating that his father and Afa were the greatest tag team of their generation and are now reunited in heaven.
Afa’s son, Samu Anoa’i, announced his father’s passing on Facebook, requesting privacy as the family grieves. Samu expressed gratitude for his father’s love and guidance, sharing that Afa will soon be reunited with loved ones in heaven. Afa had been hospitalized for pneumonia in January and suffered two heart attacks.
The Anoa’i family has a deep wrestling legacy, with Afa and Sika making a significant impact in the wrestling world. Afa’s passing comes shortly after Sika’s death earlier in the year. Despite these losses, the Anoa’i family continues to honor their love and legacy, with plans to establish a Wild Samoan training center in the sky.
The wrestling community has come together to support Reigns and the Anoa’i family during this challenging time. Fans and friends are offering condolences and sharing memories of Afa’s contributions to the wrestling world. Afa’s presence as a WWE legend will be deeply missed, but his legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
