Afa Anoa’i, the WWE Hall of Famer and esteemed figure in professional wrestling, has been recovering from heart and back surgery in recent times. Known as one half of the Wild Samoans, Anoa’i has been a significant influence in the wrestling world, particularly in the 1990s. His grandson, Lance Anoa’i, shared a positive update on social media, informing fans that their beloved grandfather is doing well and on the mend after the surgeries.
In October 2020, Afa Anoa’i last made an appearance on WWE programming during Hell in a Cell, where he and Sika joined Roman Reigns in celebrating his post-victory. The iconic duo presented Reigns with Ula Fala, signifying his status as the Head of the Table.
Roman Reigns and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, both members of the Anoa’i family, have been absent from WWE programming since WrestleMania 40. Reigns has not been seen since dropping the title to Cody Rhodes, while The Rock graced RAW after ‘Mania and made it clear that their business was far from over.
The Bloodline has been thriving in Reigns’ absence, with Solo Sikoa leading the charge. Many fans eagerly anticipate a collaboration between Roman and Rock, as a highly-anticipated match between them has been a long time coming since The Tribal Chief’s heel turn.
In these recent developments, fans are relieved to learn that Afa Anoa’i is on the road to recovery, after undergoing heart and back surgeries. His impact on the wrestling world is undeniable, and his legacy lives on through his family and the many lives he has touched throughout his career.
