According to wrestlinginc.com, former WWE star Matt ‘Rosey’ Anoa’I passed away last night at the age of 47. Anoa’I was the older brother of Roman Reigns, was signed by WWE in 202 and was part of the Three Minute Warning tag team, along with Jamal. In 2003, the Hurricane discovered Rosey’s potential as a superhero, and christened him as “Rosey, the Super Hero in Training.” At this time, his cause of death has not been revealed, but he was hospitalized due to congestive heart failure back in 2014. Pwinsider has also confirmed his passing.

>"Owen was supposed to turn up to the middle of the arena to rehearse the stunt at 2 pm. But, unbeknownst to anybody, he sneaked out of the arena to catch some fresh air, and didn't return until 3.30 pm. It was clear he left to avoid having to practice the stunt, and thought his absence would go unnoticed and management would quickly forget their orders.

>But they didn't. And they weren't happy with Owen either. The test run went perfectly, right up until Owen landed, when Owen inexcusably forget Talbert's earlier specific orders. He didn't pull the release cord, which caused a few WWF officials to get visibly annoyed at Owen. He was asked to do the whole thing again, but declined, and avoiding any potential argument, he walked forcefully back to his locker room. To those that saw Owen that afternoon, it was clear his mind wasn't focused on wrestling."

>At that moment the lights began to dim and Hart positioned himself, hanging onto the railing, waiting for his cue and for Talbert to lower him. It was then that Owen attempted to reposition his cape, accidentally triggered the quick-release, 78 feet above the ring. Owen was falling until he violently landed. Onlookers say he landed on his left side, hitting the top rope, just barely missing the turnbuckle itself. The landing caused severe internal bleeding and just six minutes after the fall, Owen Hart passed away. Medical personnel rushed to the ring and worked ecstatically, trying desperately to keep Owen's heart beating. He was loaded onto a stretcher and carried quickly to the backstage area. The 16,000 horrified fans in attendance were unsure whether or not the fall was staged and cheered for Owen as he was escorted to a near by hospital. Just minutes after the fall, Jim Ross along with Jerry "the King" Lawler announced that "Owen Hart has died. Owen Hart has tragically died from that accident, here tonight." Thankfully, fans watching the event live from home never saw the fall because of the interview.
