Exclusive notes on what exactly happened with Afa Jr. at Outlaw Pro Wrestling
Oct 14, 2024
Afa Anoa'i Jr. found his name circulating on social media on Saturday night following an incident at an Outlaw Pro Wrestling show. The match showed Afa Jr. slapping his opponent with a little too much vigour and Afa followed up with a number of stiff blows as his opponent fell to the mat.
Afa then continued to attack his opponent, though, following up with kicks before the referee counted to 10 to hand Afa the victory. The 40-year-old then proceeded to insult his opponent post-match, accusing them of cosplaying as a Samoan when they weren't from Samoa.
"This is not cosplay. You had some bad advice from some bad f*cking trainers...because I don't play wrestling...I bled for this sh*t...my family bled for this sh*t for generations. I'm not gonna let some Puerto Rican sh*t put a skirt on and pretend he's Samoan. Now acknowledge me, the real f*cking Bloodline," Afa said.
A source told Cultaholic the incident was indeed a shoot from Afa Jr. on an opponent who was only 18 years old. Afa's opponent was left with a swollen lip and face and a large bruise that extended from their ribs to the stomach area.
The source further noted they don't know if Outlaw Pro Wrestling will book Afa Jr. again but the promotion appeared to be friendly with him.
Afa Anoa'i Jr. was previously signed to WWE and he wrestled in the company as Manu. This included a very brief run in Legacy until Afa was kicked out of the stable and then released in February 2009.
Afa Jr. has worked on the indies since then. He was previously the Outlaw Pro Wrestling Champion until earlier this year.
