After last night’s heartbreaking news on Raw, the wrestling world has come together to convey their messages of support and love for Roman Reigns. As an aside to that, I am still struggling to process this news. I do not know Joe Anoa’i, nor have I ever met him, but I was surprised at the emotions I felt this morning seeing what unfolded last night. It knocked me for 6. Along with the well wishes below, I truly hope ‘The Big Dog’ kicks the crap out of this disease and comes back to one of the biggest pops in wrestling history.
Love you @wweromanreigns You taught me so much about what it means to be a superstar here. Can’t wait to see you back ❤️

Roman is one of the best I’ve ever been in the ring with and one of the guys I respect and look up to the most in this industry.
My thoughts are with him and his family. I can’t wait to see him overcome this and get to share a locker room with him again soon.#ThankYouRoman

If you look up “strong” in the dictionary you will see @WWERomanReigns. Few people on earth epitomize every aspect of the word how he does. Physically strong but more importantly emotionally & mentally strong. A born leader. We all stand by him in this fight. #ThankYouRoman @WWE
— Shawn Bennett (@BennettWWE) October 23, 2018
There are many kids as well as adults out there battling disease, who look up to @WWERomanReigns as the superhero he portrays on tv for strength.Joe has defeated leukemia in the past & will do the same now-as he is also a superhero in real life.Get well soon, you’ve got this Uce. pic.twitter.com/sa9D87ZUhU

Our job gives us the ability to portray larger than life characters who possess super human qualities and characteristics.
After hearing his story it’s very apparent that Joe Anoa’i is just as much of a superhero as “Roman Reigns” is.#ThankYouRoman

I met @WWERomanReigns years ago in Vegas. Sat and talked with him for hours over a drink.
He smartened me up to a lot.He is a good man.
Despite whatever you’re preconceived notions are of him,
Send him and his family positive energy.He deserves it more than you know.
