Positive update on WWE legend Afa Anoa'i following major surgery
The WWE Universe is sending well wishes to The Anoa'i Family tonight following a major surgery for the man some see as the real head of the dynasty. The latest update on the legendary Afa Anoa'i comes from his son.
The Wild Samoan was hospitalized but moved to a new facility on Monday after falling and breaking his back in two places, as announced by his son, Afa Anoa'i Jr. on Facebook. The surgery was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but doctors pushed it back until today.
The three-time WWE Tag Team Champion is now out of surgery and is resting up with his family at his side. Afa Jr. dropped another Facebook update this afternoon to announce that surgery was a success for his 81-year-old father.
"I just spoke to my Father! [red heart emoji] Successful surgery! Now on to the road to recovery! Keep kicking out Dad! I love you!!!", Afa Jr. wrote.
Afa Sr. also requires a heart valve replacement procedure in the near future, according to PWInsider. However, there is no word yet on when the surgery will take place.
