The Bloodline remains one of the most significant storylines in the history of professional wrestling right now, with Roman Reigns at the forefront of it all. The Anoa’i family share a close bond with their family members and it appears Manu is suffering from serious health issues.

Unfortunately, a relative of the four Anoa’i wrestling family, Afa Anoa’i Jr., known as Manu in WWE is currently dealing with some serious health problems. Manu was part of the WWE from 2007 to 2009, where he worked with the likes of Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Matt Hardy, and more.

MLW star Lance Anoa’i took to his Twitter to share the unsettling news. It was said that Manu was rushed to the hospital on September 23, where he suffered a severe and unexpected complex cardiac issue.

According to the GoFundMe page, Manu had numerous tests and serious cardiac operations. His cardiac injection fraction is barely 35%, and his heart is filling up with fluid by the hour. Manu requires $100,000 for all the medical expenses at this moment, as per the GoFundMe page.

I am writing to ask for help for my brother and hero, Afa Anoa’i Jr. He is currently fighting for his life at the moment. Afa was rushed to the hospital on Saturday, September 23rd finding out that he has a severe and unexpected complex cardiac issue. He went through many tests and major cardiac procedures. His heart injection fraction is only working at 35% and his heart is filling with fluid by the hours. Afa has an extremely long road to recovery. He has major medical bills, and medications needed. So we are asking for any help that you can give. My brother is so young and unexplainable for him to be going through this is at 38 years old. Afa has two amazing and bright children that need their father. Afa has such a vibrant and loving personality, and has always been there for those in need. Afa always has been that guy to go above and beyond for everyone, and is loved by many.

Any medical crisis like this always entails major medical expenses for both him and his family. So we are fundraising to ensure that Afa and his family have the support they need to defray those expenses, and also put Afa on the road to recovery. Anyone who knows my brother Afa, knows what an extraordinary person he is. At this time, I ask that we show up for him the way that he would always show up for us.

Thank you.

This is certainly distressing news as fans who used to watch Manu back in the day are concerned for his well-being. We hope he gets enough donations to cover all the medical expenses and send him our best.
