He's his older brother?! I never knew that. Figured they'd be related as every Samoan who's ever worked for WWE seem to be related somehow.
A shame though, he was good. One of my favourite tag teams as well. RIP big man.
Rosey passes away
WWE is saddened to learn that Matt Anoa’i, known to fans as Rosey, has passed away at age 47. The son of WWE Hall of Famer Sika and older brother of WWE Superstar Roman Reigns, Rosey grew up in the legendary Anoa’i wrestling dynasty.
He debuted in 2002 alongside his cousin Jamal as part of 3-Minute Warning. The imposing, powerful tandem tore through Raw’s tag team division before going their separate ways. Rosey then formed a beloved superhero duo with The Hurricane, which culminated in his first World Tag Team Championship reign.
The Anoa’i family shared the following statement:
“The Anoa’i family is mourning the loss of Sika’s son, Matt aka Rosey, due to an untimely death.
We want to let his fans know that he loved them and the wrestling world so much. In his passing, he left three beautiful young children and a heartbroken family. Please respect the privacy of his children and family as they mourn the loss of this kind, loving, gentle man, who was a father, son, brother and a superhero to us all.
Our family appreciates your prayers and continued support during this very difficult time.”
WWE extends its condolences to Rosey’s family, friends and fans.

I forgot about his time with the Hurricane. Was actually quite entertaining. He wasn't the best, but he was far from poor. Great tag team guy really. 3 minute warning were great.
Also had no idea he was Reigns older brother. Sucks for Reigns and hopefully they give him some time off if he needs it.
RIP.
What sad news. I always liked Rosey.
RIP.
