The Rock took to Instagram on Saturday evening and shared the following statement about the passing of the legendary Afa Anoa'i.
Rest in Love Uncle Afa --️
Uncle Afa Anoa’i is finally at peace with his brother, Uncle Sika Anoa’i.
“The Wild Samoans” were trailblazers in the world of professional wrestling.
Multi-time @WWE tag team champions and eventually, bestowed their rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame.The last picture is one of my all time favorites- it’s my uncles Afa and Sika with my grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia - and I believe that’s Professor Toru Tanaka.
What I love about this picture is you can SEE & FEEL the LOVE & MANA amongst these smiling, loving men.
You can also see and feel that this wasn’t a table you wanted to f*ck with ------
I love you uncle and I’ll never forget what you did for our family in ‘87. “Come to me”
Nashville to Bethlehem.
Give my grandpa and my dad a kiss and a hug from me.
