WATCH: Roman Reigns' emotional video with his dad, Sika Anoa'i, goes viral

Roman Reigns' father, Sika Anoa'i, is no longer. The 79-year-old WWE Hall of Famer passed away on June 25 at home. Anoa'i's nephew, Jahrus, announced the news on Instagram. Roman Reigns' father, Sika Anoa'i, is remembered as one of the legendary WWE Tag Team, The Wild Samoans. He had a significant effect on the wrestling profession. He and his brother, Afa Anoa'i, are both WWE Hall of Famers who have been at WWE with Roman Reigns once.

Since the news of Sika's death broke, a video of him in the audience at WrestleMania 32 cheering on his son, Roman Reigns, has gone viral. The moment is very amazing because here's a parent who was openly rooting for his son as the rest of the audience booed and heckled Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns faced Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the single bout that served as the evening's main event at WrestleMania 32. Reigns was heckled by the whole Texas crowd at AT&T Stadium, but Sika Anoa'i was there to support his son.

Roman Reigns didnt cameback since WrestleMania 40

Unable to contain his feelings, Sika pulled off his shirt and began waving as The Big Dog pinned Triple H to win the championship. A fan captured this scene on camera. For him, this was particularly meaningful as, despite being a former WWE wrestler himself, Sika was unable to achieve the same success as his son. 

Since a user published the video on social media, it has garnered a positive response from followers. Fans are paying respect to the renowned wrestler. One fan said, "Amazing father to have. "He'll be missed." Another person added, "That's a wrestler in the blood. "When his adrenaline kicked in, that shirt had to go!"

The former WWE Universal Champion has not made a social media post since his loss at WrestleMania 40. However, Reigns stepped out of his WWE persona Friday night and shared a touching homage to his late father.
