Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns family have a new situation to deal with. Not only the Anoa’i, but the whole wrestling world was shaken when the news came out regarding Afa The Wild Samoan‘s health condition. Turns out, the 81-year-old had been admitted to the hospital and is currently being treated to improve his overall health.

The reason behind this is that the elder of the Anoa’i family recently faced a critical situation. Afa was admitted to the hospital to treat his pneumonia. However, life took an ugly turn, and he suffered two mild heart attacks while still admitted. Following his heart attacks, he underwent cardiac catheterization to help evaluate his heart. Let’s see what he had to say about the situation.

The WWE Hall of Famer’s team took to Facebook to update restless fans about his current health. Apart from the heart attack and pneumonia situation, ‘Popa’s words were also conveyed through the post. On behalf of the wrestling legend, the post read, “He is doing ok, his spirits are high. He isn’t out of the woods yet, but will be kept in the hospital for a day or two for observation and monitoring. He thanks everyone for their concern, continued love, and prayers.

Even though things are not certain for The Wild Samoan, he is still grateful for the support he is getting from his fans over the internet from across the globe.

Since the family tree of the Samoan wrestlers is complex, fans may benefit from knowing the real relationship that both Roman Reigns and Dwayne Johnson share with their family member who is currently unwell.

The relationship that Roman Reigns and Afa share

Amituana’i and Tovale Anoa’i had several children. One out of them was Afa Anoa’i. Among the rest of them, Afa chose his sibling brother Sika Anoa’i to make a team and wreak havoc on the wrestling world. Together, the two brothers were called The Wild Samoans.

This sibling relationship that Sika and Afa shared is what makes Roman Reigns a relative of the latter. Since The Tribal Chief is one of the sons of Sika Anoa’i, Afa is his uncle by blood. On the other hand, Johnson is only related to Afa by marriage as the Maivia family has been close to the Anoa’i since Peter Maivia. We hope Afa recovers with a clean bill of health. Stay tuned for further updates on the situation.
