Anderson has had several in-ring confrontations with Roman. He also knows him quite well backstage. His tweet in support of the former Universal Champion probably reflects what most of the locker room feels with regard to the news.
About to board my flight to Newark and hearing news about my #GoodBrother and one of the hardest working, strongest brothers I know @WWERomanReigns , got a pit in my stomach.
