Wrestling fans across the globe received shocking news from Roman Reigns‘ family. The evergreen Anoa’i family faced a major health scare concerning an elderly member of the tribe. The star in question is the former wrestler Afa The Wild Samoan.

Although Afa is currently in much better health than he was a few hours ago, fans were still concerned. So Dwayne Johnson‘s distant kin decided to update his fans through social media. Though he may not look his best for now, the video can surely put the fans at ease who were worried about how ‘Popa’ is doing inside the hospital.

Hours after being admitted to a medical facility of his choice and availability, Afa took to social media to update his fans on the situation using a video while he was lying on the bed.

The WWE Hall of Famer began by saying, “I just wanna take this moment to say thank you for all the prayers and all the love.” He then added, “I’m okay, and thank God that everything’s okay, and continue to be. Road ahead. Thank you and I love you all.

So, even though the former had a tough time dealing with his health condition in the last few hours, he is doing better now and wanted his fans and family members to know about the same.

The Hollywood star is not related to The Wild Samoan via blood. But since Johnson is a half-descendant of the Maivia family, he is still closely associated with the Anoa’i and Afa can be considered a distant uncle of his. On the other hand, The Tribal Chief is the real nephew of Afa as he is the son of Sika Anoa’i, the other half of The Wild Samoans.

If you are among the people who are wondering about what has happened to the wrestling legend, then need not look anywhere else because we have got you covered.
