WWE News: Roman Reigns comments on the death of his brother, Rosey
What’s the story?
As most of you have heard Matthew Anoa’i (aka Rosey of 3 Minute Warning) passed away last Monday at age 47. What may not be commonly known is that Rosey was the older brother of former WWE Champion Roman Reigns. Now, Roman was off TV last week – both to sell the injuries inflicted by the attack on him by Braun Strowman and also to allow him time off to grieve – but he just recently made his first comments on his brother’s passing to WWE.com.
Some background...
Anoa`i first came to WWE as part of 3 Minute Warning, Eric Bischoff’s enforcers along with the future Umaga. Following the team’s break-up, he was part of an angle with Shane Helms during Helms’s “Hurricane” gimmick. Rosey was Hurricane’s sidekick, also known as a “Super Hero In Training” (you can put together the initials, we won’t do it for you).
The heart of the story.
When it came to how his family has reacted to his brother’s death, Reigns had this to say:
Right now, it’s one of those situations where it’s a lot of mixed feelings. When you live in a big family, it’s always great to be able to come together, but to have to come together to send off a brother — and not only was he my brother, but in our family, even when you’re cousins, we’re all so close that we feel like brothers
In regards to his relationship with his brother:
He was my number one fan. He never missed a match, he never missed anything I did in the ring, he always had great advice for me and always reached out to talk.
Author’s take
You can think what you like about Roman as a wrestler, but losing a family member is one of the hardest things a person can go through. Our thoughts are with Roman Reigns and his whole family.
