While WWE is en route to its next premium live event in Canada, the unfortunate news of Sika Anoa'i's passing away came out. Recently, Hall of Famer Ric Flair paid tribute to one-half of the legendary tag team.
The Wild Samoans paved the way for several Samoan wrestlers in the Stamford-based promotion for decades to come. Recently, WWE Superstars and fans found out about the unfortunate passing away of Sika Anoa'i at the age of 79. Several stars from the present and past paid tribute to the late Hall of Famer.
Today, 16-time World Champion and two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair paid tribute to Sika Anoa'i. The Hall of Famer took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
"I’m Saddened To Hear About The Loss Of Sika! Your Legacy Will Live On Through The Greatness Of Your Son Roman! Rest In Peace My Brother!"
Former Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns broke the silence after his father Sika Anoa'i passed away
Earlier this year, Roman Reigns lost his title after a legendary reign of over 1300 days in WWE. The 39-year-old star went on a hiatus from the company after losing to The American Nightmare on WrestleMania XL Night Two in Philadelphia.
Unfortunately, Roman Reigns recently suffered a personal loss after losing his father, Sika Anoa'i. After the news came out, Reigns sent out a tweet on X (formerly Twitter) after receiving several supportive messages from fans and wrestlers across the globe.
"My family and I thank everyone for the outpouring of support in the name of my father, Pola'ivao Leati Sika Anoa’i, who will forever be remembered as one half of The Wild Samoans tag team. My father had a profound impact on my entire family and we are forever grateful for the foundation he built for us. There’s no way to fill the void left by his passing but my sisters and I will do our best to represent him and his legacy. Rest in Power, Dad. We love you," Reigns wrote.
Currently, there's no timetable for The Tribal Chief's return. However, many believe that we will see Reigns at this year's SummerSlam.
