Former WWE Champion John Cena reacts after the death of WWE crew member
One of WWE’s veteran crew members, Ronnie, passed away on the 9th of January. So many superstars get close to the crew members and likewise, humble superstars like John Cena was disheartened after the loss.
Cena took to Twitter and wrote a heartfelt message regarding his death. He said that “loss is the hardest part of the journey” whilst expressing his loss.
“For me, loss is the hardest part of the journey. Maybe because of the finality of it. It’s something we all experience and deal with in our own way. I’m grateful for honest dialogue with self and others so when dealing with loss I can genuinely reflect, not regret. RIP R.B.”
Cena has been out of WWE for a long time now as he was busy with his new Peacemaker project, which will be released this week.
Former Divas Champion Nikki Bella also seemed to be very close with Ronnie as she posted a picture of him on Instagram and wrote a big message expressing the grief.
Bella was quoted as saying on social media,
“Sometimes things in life truly seem unimaginable. Losing someone too soon definitely is one of those things. Hurts to write this, RIP Ronnie. There are only a few people that I truly feel I get and have gotten to be so present within life and you were one of them. I think so many people can say the same about you. You had a gift of making people feel so special. You lit up a room! That laugh! It was contagious. Made you smile. And you always smelled so good. We did always have the best cologne talks! Ha, You were a true southern gentleman. Goodness, we had amazing conversations, you were always there if I needed to vent, and you would give me such great advice, we had lots and lots of laughs, wow did we and amazing memories for the history books. Thank you Ronnie for taking care of me as long as you did, you made road life home for me, you were our home, you were family. Thank you for always being there for me no matter what. I’ll never forget that.”
She continued:
“I will cherish every conversation and text for the rest of my life. ❤️ Until we meet again and ride those amazing roads in Heaven with our moonshine 🤍✨ So many prayers to Kathy, Ronnie’s family and everyone that was close with Ronnie. Only wanted to share a few photos. First, he always took care of Winston when he was around, Win loved him! As you can tell lol and the last two is when the selfie stick was invented lol honest and we were trying to figure it out, he couldn’t believe they invented a stick to take pictures of yourself with lol he swore that you could sell me anything say it’s world-famous or does something good for you it was a for sure sell to me! Lol loved that. And true! Ha #ripronnie #loveyou.”
It is worth noting that John Cena and Nikki Bella were once engaged. After beginning to date in 2012, the pair got engaged in 2017. However, a year later, they split.
