Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson pays tribute to Afa Anoa’i of the Wild Samoans

On Friday, it was announced that WWE Hall of Famer Afa Anoa’i of the Wild Samoans passed away. In a post via Instagram, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson paid tribute with a message along with photos…

“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 professional wrestling, multiple-time WWE tag team champions, and were rightfully inducted into 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 Professor Toru Tanaka. What I love about this picture is you can SEE & FEEL the love and mana among these smiling, loving men. You can also see and feel that this wasn’t a table you wanted to mess with 😂💪🏾

I love you, Uncle, and I’ll never forget what you did for our family in ‘87. “Come to me” from Nashville to Bethlehem. Give my grandpa and my dad a kiss and a hug from me. ❤️🕊️🥃
