It was noted that Afa is doing okay but isn’t out of the woods following his heart catheterization.
The post read:

He is doing ok, his spirits are high. He isn’t out of the woods yet, but will be kept in the hospital for a day or two for observation and monitoring.
He thanks everyone for their concern, continued love, and prayers.
Afa, full name Afa Amituana’i ‘Arthur’ Anoa’i, wrestled as one half of the Wild Samoans alongside his brother Sika.
