Afa Anoa'i Jr. had shared his view about Roman Reigns

Even though Manu is not a part of WWE and hasn’t been a part of The Bloodline like Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa, he’s definitely following the product.

As a member of the Samoan wrestling family, everyone who stepped foot in the ring had a role to play in the family’s pro-wrestling legacy. During a conversation with Tantalizing Tony, Afa Anoa'i Jr. revealed he did not need help from anyone to reach the top of the game.

"I don't necessarily look at it like I have to live up to the legacy of the family name. I look at it as I have to create my own road to this legacy. We all have our strengths, we all have our weaknesses. Roman, he's made it to the top of the game in the WWE. I've made it to the top of the game without them. I stayed relevant for the last 25 years without them."
