Roman Reigns Pays Tribute To Afa Anoa'i

Afa Anoa'i of the Wild Samoans passed away yesterday at the age of 81, with the news revealed by his son Samu Anoa’i in a Facebook post. It was as recently as June of this year that his brother and tag team partner, Sika, also passed away. Many in the professional wrestling world have paid tribute to Afa, including the likes of Triple H, Adam Pearce, Natalya, and others.

Afa’s nephew, Roman Reigns, paid tribute to the passing of his Uncle in an emotional post on X, reflecting on the passing of his father also.

“Our family has suffered another great loss with the passing of my uncle and WWE Hall of Famer, Gataivasā Afa Amituana'i Anoa'i.  We thank everyone for their support and are comforted by the fact that he now rests in peace. Afa and my father, Pola’ivao Leati Sika Anoa’I were loving brothers, the greatest tag team of their generation, and now they’re reunited together in heaven. 

Rest in Power Wild Samoans.”

We here at Cultaholic extend our condolences to the friends and family of Afa Anoa’i.
