WWE Hall of Famer Afa the Wild Samoan’s Health Crisis Causes “Stressful Times” After Suffering Fall

WWE Hall of Famer Afa Anoa’i, part of the famed Wild Samoans tag team, has encountered significant health challenges recently, sparking concerns for his well-being. From battling pneumonia to enduring heart attacks and now facing fractures in his back, Afa’s journey to recovery has been marked by setbacks and hurdles.

Afa Anoa’i, known for his role in the Wild Samoans tag team, has faced several health challenges recently, raising concerns about his condition. Now the WWE Hall of Famer is in the hospital after suffering a fall.

Afa’s Medical Setback

Earlier this year, Afa battled pneumonia, which was further complicated by a mild heart attack during his hospitalization. His health worsened when he experienced a second small heart attack during his stay. Despite these obstacles, Afa was discharged in January.

Afa’s recovery was interrupted when he suffered a fall, resulting in fractures to his back in two places, as disclosed in a Facebook post by Afa Jr. The severity of the injury required his transfer to another hospital for specialized treatment, heightening worries about his health.

Update: My father fell and fractured his back in 2 places. He is currently being transferred into a different hospital. Continued prayers are requested as well as privacy during these stressful times. The family will post updates as they come

Support for Afa

There are 464 reactions to the post on Facebook so far, and they are all caring or showing their support during this time.

Afa the Wild Samoan was a part of WWE History, and his impression is still felt on the business to this day. We can only assume that he would be at WrestleMania 40 if this unfortunate medical setback didn’t get in his way.

SEScoops is sending Afa the best, and we hope that he makes it back to his feet in no time. Keep checking back for more of the headlines you need from all over the pro wrestling world.
