Sad news broke earlier today that legendary professional wrestler and father of WWE Superstar Roman Reigns, Sika Anoa’i, passed away at the age of 79. Sika's nephew, Jahrus Anoa’i, took to Instagram to inform the world about his demise.
Sika made a name for himself in the world of professional wrestling as one half of one of the most legendary tag teams in history, The Wild Samoans, alongside Afa Anoa’i. The duo's fearsome presence and unhinged style made them massive stars in the '70s and '80s.
The Wild Samoans even had several runs in WWF, where they were three-time WWF Tag Team Champions. In 2007, Sika and Afa were inducted into the prestigious WWE Hall of Fame.
