Roman Reigns has been notably absent from WWE television following his defeat by Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. His absence follows a significant personal loss with the passing of his father, Sika Anoa’i. Sika peacefully passed away at the age of 79 on June 25th, marking a moment of mourning in the pro wrestling community, especially for Roman Reigns.
At Sika Anoa’i’s memorial service, Roman Reigns was seen alongside Rikishi and Reno Anoa’i, also known as Black Pearl. A twitter account account shared a photo from the event, capturing the moment of solidarity among family members. In a separate tweet, Paul Heyman was also seen at the memorial service.
Despite his personal grief, Roman Reigns showed immense compassion by visiting a children’s hospital shortly after his father’s passing. His actions show his commitment to being a positive influence and role model, even during challenging times.
Sika Anoa’i’s death represents the end of an era in professional wrestling, but Roman Reigns remains steadfast in his determination to continue inspiring his fans and carrying forward his family’s legacy.
