Sika Anoaʻi, the father of Roman Reigns and late WWE star Rosey has died at the age of 79. Jahrus Anoa’i broke the unfortunate news through an Instagram post.
Regarded as a legend in the sports entertainment industry, Sika was best known for teaming with his brother, Arthur “Afa” Anoa’i Sr., in the iconic tag team The Wild Samoans. The duo’s fearsome presence and unhinged style made them massive stars for WWE in the late ’70s and early ’80s as they dominated the tag team division, winning the championship on three separate occasions.
The 1st Tag Team I ever saw and the reason I wanted to be a Tag Team Wrestler was The Wild Samoans.My sincere condolences to the entire extended Anoa’i family.
GOD BLESS and RIP “Sika”
Leati Sika Amituana’i Anoaʻi
