"Update on Afa the Wild Samoan, affectionately known as Pops: Afa was admitted to the hospital last night with pneumonia, but had a mild heart attack upon arrival. Today, he had a second small heart attack and was sent for a heart catheterization. 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."
Afa and Sika made a rare WWE appearance to celebrate Roman Reigns' big win
At Payback 2020, The Tribal Chief won the Universal title after defeating The Fiend and Braun Strowman.
He later kicked off a feud with Jey Uso, leading to a Hell in a Cell "I Quit" match at the namesake event.
After Reigns defeated Jey to retain his title belt, Afa and Sika celebrated his victory. Roman has been the biggest heel in WWE for the past four years.
