Samu, a former WWE Tag Team Champion who has been facing health challenges in recent years, is scheduled to undergo open heart surgery. His sister Vale, who is Roman Reigns’ cousin, shared the information through social media, noting that the procedure is set for Monday.
The former WWE star, who signed a Legends contract with WWE in 2022, has faced significant health challenges in recent years. In 2018, Samu announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer.
Vale has shared a GoFundMe page seeking support from the WWE Universe to assist with the costs of the operation. The family’s request for assistance comes as Samu prepares for this critical medical procedure.
Samu’s contribution to professional wrestling predates the current iteration of The Bloodline. His tenure in WWE and subsequent success in ECW established part of the foundation for the Samoan wrestling dynasty that continues to influence the industry today.
My oldest brother, Samu, is having open heart surgery this Monday. ANY help is deeply appreciated! #WWE @WWE https://t.co/zuft88CWz6
