In the wake of a recent unfortunate accident resulting in two fractures in his back, Afa Anoa’i, uncle to Roman Reigns, has faced setbacks in his scheduled surgery.
Originally slated for March 19, the procedure had to be postponed. However, a fresh update from PWInsider reveals that Anoa’i’s surgery has been rescheduled for Friday.
Afa Anoa’i’s connection to the WWE universe was notably underscored during the early stages of The Bloodline narrative.
Prior to Roman Reigns formally establishing The Bloodline with The Usos and Paul Heyman, he found himself embroiled in a compelling feud with Jey Uso on WWE SmackDown in late 2020, shortly after securing the Universal Title at Payback 2020.
The pinnacle of this saga unfolded at WWE Hell In A Cell 2020, where Reigns emerged victorious over Jey in a gripping Hell in a Cell “I Quit” match for the Universal Championship.
Following this significant triumph, Reigns celebrated on the entrance ramp alongside Afa and Sika, a moment now regarded as pivotal in the faction’s four-year history.
It solidified Reigns’ stature as a dominant force and symbolized the blessings from the elder members of the family.
Subsequently, Reigns’ faction, The Bloodline, has enjoyed remarkable success on WWE TV, earning acclaim as one of the most dominant groups in WWE history. Despite encountering various challenges, the stable has emerged stronger than ever.
The recent WWE return of The Rock, accompanied by his unprecedented heel turn, further heightened the faction’s prestige.
The Rock’s acknowledgment of The Tribal Chief and the initiation of a feud with Cody Rhodes, the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble winner, have injected fresh excitement into the WWE landscape.
As Afa Anoa’i prepares for his surgery, the WWE universe stands in solidarity, wishing him a speedy recovery. His resilience and contribution to the wrestling world, alongside his nephew Roman Reigns, remain ingrained in the hearts of fans worldwide.
