Rikishi family member not invited to Hall of Fame?

Samu, Afa and Rikishi

There have been a lot of rumors about the Anoa?i family coming out of Wrestlemania and the Hall of Fame, but the Wrestling Observer is reporting that there was also an issue with Samu not being invited to the ceremony.

Samu is a legend in his own right, having filled in for Sika (Roman Reigns’ father) during the Wild Samoan era in the 80s, as well as teaming with his cousin Rikishi as the Samoan Swat Team and later the Headshrinkers in the 90s.

Eventually WWE did send him out an invite, but by that point the family was already said to be ticked off. It’s not clear whether it was simply an oversight or if there was another reason behind it.

There were also conflicting reports that the family were annoyed that WWE changed Reigns winning the title at the last minute.
