The Rock on Afa Anoa’i: “I’ll never forget what you did for our family”

In a touching post on social media, Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson paid tribute to his late uncle, Afa Anoa’i, who passed away on Friday at the age of 81.

Rock said that uncle Afa is finally at peace with his brother, and his other uncle, Sika.

“The Wild Samoans were trailblazers in the world of professional wrestling. Multi-time @WWE tag team champions and eventually, bestowed their rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame,” he wrote in the caption along with several photos.

“The last picture is one of my all time favorites- it’s my uncles Afa and Sika with my grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia – and I believe that’s Professor Toru Tanaka,” Rock continued. “What I love about this picture is you can SEE & FEEL the LOVE & MANA amongst these smiling, loving men.”

One of the photos included featured Afa in a hospital bed holding the Brahma Bull WWE title, giving a thumbs up.

“I love you uncle and I’ll never forget what you did for our family in ‘87. ‘Come to me’ Nashville to Bethlehem,” he concluded.
