So, I’ve been digging into the whole Roman Reigns family thing, you know, the wrestling stuff. Turns out, this dude had an older brother, also a wrestler, named Matthew Anoa’i. But everyone called him Rosey.
I started off by watching some old WWE matches. Yeah, I know, I’m a bit of a wrestling nerd. I’m watching, and this guy Rosey pops up. I’m like, “Wait a minute, isn’t that Roman Reigns’ brother?”
So I hit up the internet, started googling and all that. Turns out, yeah, Rosey was his older bro, and he was pretty well-known in the wrestling world too. Then it hits me – I find out that Rosey actually passed away. Man, that was a bummer. He was only 47.
The Real Deal Behind the Scenes
Here’s where it gets a bit heavy.
I read that Rosey had some health issues. I mean, congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Sounds rough, right? He was even in the hospital for it back in 2014. It was so sad to read this stuff.
After that, I was curious about what Roman said about all this. Found an interview where he talked about his brother for the first time since he passed. I can only imagine how tough that must have been for him, losing his big bro like that.
But I kept digging. Found out that this whole Anoa’i family is like wrestling royalty. It’s not just Roman and Rosey. There’s The Usos, who are their cousins. And their dad, Rikishi? Also a big name in wrestling. It’s like this whole family is meant for the ring. Even found out that Nia Jax is related to them, she’s The Rock’s cousin. I didn’t know that!
I spent hours just reading about their family history, their wrestling careers, everything. It’s wild how much this family has contributed to wrestling. I even stumbled upon some tweets from other wrestlers sending their condolences when Rosey passed. That was pretty touching. Everyone seemed to respect him a lot, it was really great to read all the messages to Roman and his family.
What I Learned
- Roman Reigns had an older brother, Matthew “Rosey” Anoa’i, who was also a wrestler.
- Rosey passed away at 47 due to heart issues.
- The Anoa’i family is a big deal in the wrestling world, with many members involved in WWE.
This whole thing started as just me being curious about Roman Reigns, and it turned into this deep dive into his family and their impact on wrestling. It’s kind of sad because of Rosey, but it’s also really cool to see how this family has stuck together and made such a name for themselves in the wrestling world.
