Just weeks after his father’s death, WWE star Roman Reigns returned to social media Friday to address fans following the death of his famous uncle, Afa Anoa’i.
Afa died Friday after dealing with a number of health issues. He was 81.
“Our family has suffered another great loss with the passing of my uncle and WWE Hall of Famer, Gataivasa Afa Amituana’i Anoa’i,” he wrote. “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.”
Afa teamed with Reign’s father, Sika, as The Wild Samoans, and together they won three WWE championships.
