The Shocking Loss of 'The Beast'
Kicking things off, we can't help but start with the tragic passing of Roman Reigns, also known as 'The Beast' in the wrestling world. A three-time WWE Universal Champion, Reigns was a powerhouse in the ring and a beacon of hope outside of it. His battle with leukemia, which he bravely shared with the world, was an inspiration to millions. Although he lost his fight in 2025, his legacy lives on in the hearts of fans worldwide.
Reigns' impact on the wrestling world was immense. He was a trailblazer, breaking barriers and paving the way for future Superstars. His epic rivalries with the likes of John Cena, Seth Rollins, and Brock Lesnar are etched into the annals of WWE history. Off-screen, Reigns was a devoted family man, using his platform to raise awareness for various charitable causes. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit lives on in the ring and in the hearts of his fans.
The Unsung Heroes
While Reigns' passing was a shock to the wrestling world, it was far from the only loss we suffered in 2025. We also said our goodbyes to several other beloved wrestlers, each leaving their unique mark on the industry.
The High-Flying Legend
Eddie Guerrero, the charismatic and high-flying Luchador, passed away in 2025 at the age of 50. A two-time WWE Champion and a member of the legendary Guerrero wrestling family, Eddie was known for his incredible in-ring ability and his larger-than-life personality. His 'Lie, Cheat, Steal' catchphrase was a testament to his unyielding spirit and his ability to captivate audiences.
Guerrero's influence on the wrestling world cannot be overstated. He was a pioneer in bringing the Lucha Libre style to mainstream wrestling and inspired a generation of high-flying wrestlers. His passing was a reminder that even the toughest of guys need to take care of themselves, both in and out of the ring.
The Enforcer
Another legend we lost in 2025 was Arn Anderson, the 'Enforcer' of the infamous Four Horsemen stable. A two-time WWE Tag Team Champion, Anderson was known for his hard-hitting style and his no-nonsense attitude. He was a mentor to many of the wrestling world's biggest stars and was instrumental in shaping the careers of countless Superstars.
Anderson's passing was a stark reminder of the physical toll that professional wrestling can take on its athletes. Despite his tough exterior, Anderson was a compassionate and caring man, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. His legacy lives on in the countless wrestlers he influenced and the lessons he taught them.
The Next Generation
While the losses of Reigns, Guerrero, and Anderson were devastating, they were far from the only ones we suffered in 2025. We also said our goodbyes to several younger wrestlers, each with their own unique story to tell.
The Rising Star
Sasha Banks, the former WWE Women's Champion, passed away in 2025 at the age of 33. A trailblazer in the women's division, Banks helped pave the way for future generations of female wrestlers. Her high-flying style and larger-than-life personality made her a fan favorite, and her matches with the likes of Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch are among the most memorable in WWE history.
Banks' passing was a reminder of the importance of mental health and the need for wrestlers to take care of themselves both in and out of the ring. Despite her success, Banks struggled with depression and anxiety, a battle she bravely shared with her fans. Her openness about her mental health struggles helped to break down the stigma surrounding the issue and inspired countless others to seek help.
The Iconoclast
Another young wrestler we lost in 2025 was Jon Moxley, the former WWE Champion and current AEW World Champion. Known for his intense in-ring style and his no-holds-barred attitude, Moxley was a breath of fresh air in the wrestling world. His feuds with the likes of CM Punk, Chris Jericho, and MJF are among the most memorable in recent wrestling history.
Moxley's passing was a stark reminder of the importance of standing up for what you believe in. Despite the backlash he received from some fans and members of the wrestling media, Moxley never shied away from speaking his mind and advocating for the things he believed in. His legacy lives on in the countless wrestlers he inspired to be true to themselves and to never back down from a fight.
