Former Wrestler Siva Afi Passes Away

Former Wrestler Siva Afi Passes Away

Siva Afi, a longtime professional wrestler known for his fire-knife dancing entrances and colorful island-inspired presentation, has died. His passing was confirmed by his family.

The news was first relayed publicly by the wrestler booking outlet Book Pro Wrestlers, which shared a statement expressing sadness over his death and noting his family had confirmed it. Details surrounding the circumstances of his passing have not been made public.

Afi was a familiar face on the North American independent scene for decades, carving out a niche with his flame-based entrance ritual that made him a recognizable attraction on cards throughout his career. Wrestlers and fans who crossed paths with him over the years often pointed to his showmanship and warmth backstage as much as his in-ring work.

No further information, including services or additional statements from family or promotions he worked with, has been released at this time. PW Exclusive will provide updates as more information becomes available, and our thoughts are with Afi’s family and friends during this difficult time.
