Previously, Roman Reigns opened up about his brother after his death. While appearing for an interview with WWE, Reigns said, “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.”
He said that it was really tough for him, but it meant a lot to see his family and friends come together to celebrate his brother’s life. Thereafter, he thanked everyone, including his fans, for being supportive.
Reigns added that his only hope going forward was to represent his family, represent his brother, and push their legacy.

This has been two of the toughest weeks of my professional career and life. I’ve never experienced a loss this close.”
