Both Anoa’i and Finau are cousins to WWE superstars, Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso. What Anoa’i and Finau will do next is unknown but, for now, they have free agent status.

Jacob Fatu remains the sole member of the Samoan SWAT Team, and he is set to challenge Alex Kane for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at the Fightland event. That event is set to take place at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, November 18.
