Bloodline Family Member Manu Discharged From Hospital After Severe Cardiac Issue

The Bloodline remains one of the most significant families in the history of professional wrestling, and the family clearly takes care of each other. Ex-WWE Superstar Manu was recently hospitalized due to a severe cardiac issue as fans feared the worst. Now it appears he was recently discharged from the hospital.

A relative of the four Anoa’i wrestling family, Afa Anoa’i Jr., known as Manu in WWE had been 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.

As previously reported, 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. A GoFundMe was set up in his name, where the target is currently $100,000.

According to PWInsider, Afa Anoa’i Jr.’s mother issued a statement on her son’s current condition. She revealed that the former WWE Superstar was recently discharged from the hospital due to his injection fraction being barely 35% and it was added that his cardiologists believe with him following their strict instructions his rehabilitation and recovery will be a success and he should return to the ring once he reaches 60%.

From the mother of Afa Jr.

We would like to give you all an update on Afa’s cardiac condition.

First off, we would like to say thank you for the continued prayers, love, and support we are receiving for Afa at this most difficult time.

Afa has a team of cardiologists working with him and now is the most critical part of his recovery. He will be watched closely by his physicians and continue with extensive testing, procedures, and medication. Afa was discharged home under strict guidelines due to his ejection fraction of 35%. Afa’s father is by his side for an indefinite period of time. Afa needs to rest without any stress, and strenuous activities (he can only do some dishes, laundry and minimal stairs until further notice). His cardiologists believe with him following their strict instructions his rehabilitation and recovery will be a success and he should return to the ring once he reaches 60%.

For everyone that knows and loves Afa, this will be the most difficult road to rehabilitation and recovery for him, since we all know he is always hands on and cannot sit still watching others.

Wrestlers are considered independent contractors and are not eligible for the benefits we receive, so

we ask for respect and privacy at this time and please understand negative comments regarding this situation and his family is very difficult for his children, family, and all of us that love him in this most difficult time of need.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support with this ongoing unexpected situation.

With love, Afa’s Mom

This is certainly distressing news as fans who used to watch Manu back in the day are concerned for his well-being. Regardless, we certainly hope Manu will be able to make a full recovery and go back to doing what he loves the most.
