The June 28 edition of Friday Night SmackDown from Madison Square Garden had many memorable moments but it appears the venue also decided to pay tribute to Sika Anoa’i before the show.
The world of professional wrestling lost a true legend, Sika Anoa’i of the Wild Samoans, who peacefully passed away at the age of 79 on June 25th. His death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from fellow wrestlers, honoring his legacy and contributions to the sport.
Sika Anoa’i’s nephew Jahrus Anoa’i broke the sad news of the WWE Hall of Famer’s unfortunate passing. The pro wrestling world would then begin grieving the loss of such a legendary professional wrestler.
When fans were entering Madison Square Garden last night, the arena’s digital board displayed a tribute to Sika Anoa’i. Sika had main-evented in the Garden numerous times as a member of The Wild Samoans, revealing his significant impact on wrestling history.
Roman Reigns has also broken his silence on his father’s passing. Nonetheless, Sika’s passing marks the end of an era in professional wrestling.
