The death of WWE Hall of Famer Sika Anoa’i on June 25 has left a void in the wrestling world, but his family is determined to keep his memory alive. Sika’s son Lance, a passionate wrestler, is at the forefront of preserving his uncle’s legacy. Just days after Sika’s funeral, Lance honored his uncle’s memory by attending a wrestling event and winning the BCW World Championship on July 6. In a heartfelt message, Lance dedicated his victory to his departed uncle and proudly announced that he was representing the Anoa’i Bloodline.
The Anoa’i family has a rich history in professional wrestling, with Sika being a part of The Wild Samoans. His sons followed in his footsteps, with Roman Reigns, a WWE Superstar, being one of the latest members of the family to make a name for himself in the sport. Despite Sika’s passing, his family remains actively involved in the wrestling world, with Lance and Solo Sikoa, Sika’s grandson, being two prominent examples. Solo Sikoa has been making waves in WWE, recently defeating Cody Rhodes at the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event and potentially setting himself up for a title shot against the Undisputed WWE Champion.
Meanwhile, Roman Reigns has been absent from the wrestling scene since WrestleMania XL in April, but his name has been mentioned by Solo Sikoa, who has taken on the role of ‘The Tribal Chief’ on SmackDown in his absence. The chanting of Reigns’ name by fans at recent events suggests that there is still significant interest in his return to the ring. As the family continues to navigate the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling, it is clear that Sika’s legacy will continue to inspire and motivate his family and fans for years to come.
The bond between the Anoa’i family members is strong, and their shared passion for wrestling is palpable. Whether Roman Reigns returns to the ring or Solo Sikoa continues to impress, one thing is certain – Sika Anoa’i’s legacy will not fade away. His family and fans will continue to honor his memory and legacy through their work in and outside the wrestling world. As the wrestling world evolves, the Anoa’i family is sure to play an integral part in shaping its future.
