Charlotte Flair tags Roman Reigns in heartfelt tweet after his father Sika passes away at 79

Charlotte Flair has posted a tweet after the passing of Roman Reigns' father, the legendary Sika Anoa'i. The veteran passed away on June 25.

Sika of The Wild Samoans was a big attraction in pro wrestling back in the day. With Afa, he won the WWE (then known as WWF) World Tag Team Championship on three occasions. They were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.

Sika passed away on June 25, 2024, at the age of 79. The wrestling world mourned his death and several top names sent their heartfelt condolences to the Anoa'i family, including Charlotte Flair.

On Twitter/X, The Queen uploaded a photo of Roman Reigns and Sika from Hell in a Cell 2020, tagging The Tribal Chief in the post.

That night, The Tribal Chief defeated his cousin Jey Uso inside the hellish structure to retain the Universal Championship. After the match, Afa and Sika came out on the entrance ramp and celebrated Reigns' big win with him.

Roman Reigns held the belt for the next four years, finally losing it to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. The Head of the Table is arguably the biggest superstar in modern-day WWE.

Sportskeeda Wrestling sends its condolences to the Anoa'i family.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
