Roman Reigns took a moment away from his tight schedule to support a young fan who went viral for the wrong reasons.
The fan, a boy named Kshawn who has autism, drew attention online after a video showed him being bullied at school. ‘The OTC’ recorded a personal message in response, telling him the entire WWE locker room is behind him.
He acknowledged that life can be unfair and that things can be tough, then encouraged him to keep his head up and told him he is a good kid.
Some of the kids are bullying you; I just want you to know that all your friends here at WWE are with you. I know it can be tough. Life can be unfair sometimes; it really can, but I just want you to know that we are thinking about you.
Reigns also thanked him for his support of WWE, saying the company wanted to show the same support back. He promised to arrange tickets for Kshawn when WWE visits his area, with what he called the best seats in the house.
Keep your head up; just know that you are the man. You are a good kid. And we know you mean the best, and we just want to reward you for all the support you send our way, and we want you to understand that we are supporting you as well,” he added.
He also floated a shirt with the message “loving my differences,” meant to promote acceptance and understanding of children with autism.
The message comes just ahead of Money in the Bank, where Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight this Saturday.
