Jey Uso has joined the growing list of wrestling stars reacting to Hayden Panettiere’s shocking death. Unlike Jacob Fatu’s cryptic response or Dakota Kai’s Heroes callback, Jey kept his message as simple as possible.
The WWE star took to Twitter after news of Panettiere’s passing and wrote just four words. That’s it. No speculation, no lengthy message—just Jey paying his respects to the actress following her death at only 36 years old.
“REST IN PEACE”
His reaction comes after Dakota Kai remembered Panettiere with perhaps the most recognizable line from Heroes.
“save the cheerleader, save the world”
Panettiere played Claire Bennet on the hit NBC series, and that phrase became synonymous with both the character and the show during its breakout first season.
Jacob Fatu’s reaction went in a completely different direction. After TMZ reported Panettiere’s death, Fatu shared the story on Twitter and posted a cryptic message that immediately got people talking.
“THE TRUTH WILL COME TO THE LIGHT!!”
TMZ reported that Panettiere was found unresponsive inside a South Carolina home after emergency crews responded to a call involving an “unresponsive female” and a person in cardiac arrest. Authorities were investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
Panettiere was only 36, but her career stretched across generations of television and film fans through Remember the Titans, Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise.
Now the reactions are reaching deeper into the wrestling world. Dakota Kai remembered Claire Bennet, Jacob Fatu left everyone wondering what he meant, and Jey Uso didn’t complicate his message at all: rest in peace.
