Afa underwent two exploratory heart procedures in December. These procedures were performed to assess his valves. The procedure indicated that he needs a valve replacement. He had to go for a follow-up appointment on December 20 to discuss the next steps. The condition worsened and this led to him cancelling his wrestling seminar at WXW Wrestling promotion. The seminar was scheduled for January 13 in Minneola, Florida.
Afa alongwith his tag team partner Sika got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. The legendary tag team had a great impact on the tag team division. We at Wrestling Edge send our wishes for a speedy recovery to the WWE Hall of Famer and hope he is out of the hospital soon.
