Posted: Jan 15th 2024 By: Ian Carey
Afa Anoa'i is headed home.
The WWE Hall of Famer was taken to hospital on Thursday with a case of pneumonia. He suffered a mild heart attack after being admitted and then another small heart attack on Friday.
On Sunday, the X account for Afa's WXW promotion provided an update on his condition, noting that he will be going home shortly.
WXW wrote:
It's been a harrowing few days, but our beloved Pops, #WWE Hall of Famer Afa the Wild Samoan, is coming home from the hospital today! He battles pneumonia and two mild heart attacks, but in his own words: "I kicked out at 1!"
Afa's official Facebook page posted a video of the 80-year-old saying he plans on going home and watching football later today.
Afa also had two exploratory procedures performed last month to check his heart valves. At the time, it was thought he might need valve replacement surgery. He also had to cancel a WXW seminar scheduled for January 13 due to medical concerns.
