WXW is shutting down.
Afa The Wild Samoan's WXW announced that the promotion will be shutting down in April due to Afa's health issues. Their last event will be on April 13.
Good morning, WXW Universe. Our wrestlers, staff, family, and fans are all heartbroken and reeling from the announcement last night from our beloved founder and Pops, Afa the Wild Samoan, that Saturday April 13th will be the last #WXWWrestling show. Instead of X-Treme War, that event will be called The Grand Finale. After 27 years, WXW will be opening our doors one last time. This news was not easy to hear last night. Due to Afa's serious heart condition, his mild-moderate vascular dementia with Alzheimer's, and other health complications, he felt that April would be the perfect time to take our final bows and close an amazing 27- year chapter. Being that he is the heart and soul of WXW, his family tearfully agreed, and his wrestlers, though very sad, support his decision. We'll see you one more time in person, Saturday, April 13th for the Grand Finale super-show. There will be more matches, an earlier start time, and some big names from WXW's incredible 27-year legacy. We love you all, thank you for all your support throughout these many years.
On January 12, Afa's family posted that he was taken to the hospital for pneumonia and mild heart attack upon arrival. He suffered a second small heart attack was sent for a heart catheterization.
Afa underwent two exploratory heart procedures in December.
