Real-life Bloodline member reacts to WWE's tribute to Sika

WWE paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Sika Anoa'i on SmackDown this week. A real-life Bloodline member reacted to the clip on social media.

Like the rest of his family, Lance Anoa'I is a professional wrestler who works on the independent scene. He has wrestled for major promotions such as Pro Wrestling Noah and MLW and held the MLW World Tag Team Championship on one occasion. Although he hasn't made a big splash like his cousins, Lance had a couple of tryouts with WWE between 2015 and 2019 but failed to make the cut.

The Anoa'I family is currently going through a tough time due to Sika's passing. The father of Roman Reigns was a revered tag team wrestler who was one-half of The Wild Samoans.

His last appearance on WWE television was to acknowledge his son, Roman Reigns, at Hell in a Cell 2020. Given his impact on the industry, WWE paid tribute to the Hall of Famer with a video package tonight.

This video tribute was posted on a billboard outside Pen Station. The real-life Bloodline member reacted to it by taking a picture and sharing it with his fans on Instagram.

Given that several of his family members have recently debuted on SmackDown, it will be interesting to see if Lance Anoa'I will also appear on the blue brand and join the Bloodline.
