Helms shared a photo of his interaction with WWE's Roman Reigns, the brother of his late tag team partner, Matt Anoa'i, better known by his ring name "Rosey."
The former Cruiserweight champion included a heartfelt caption about the meeting, noting the importance of his relationship with the Anoa'i family, wrestling's "Samoan Dynasty."
Every time I see @WWERomanReigns, I can’t help but think of Rosey. The Anoaʻi family and the whole “Samoan Dynasty” will always have a special place in my heart. Love and respect! #Uce Thank you @WWE for the pic. pic.twitter.com/q2nRPXL5W9

Anoa'i passed away last April due to congestive heart failure. Helms was among the many professional wrestlers who paid tribute to his former partner following his death, calling him a "great human being" and a "hero."
Heart wrenching phone calls are not the way to start a day. Tell your loved ones you love them. Let them know!

The duo won the Tag Team championship at Backlash in May 2005, defeating then-champions Tajiri and William Regal, The Heart Throbs, Simon Dean and Maven and La Résistance in a Tag Team Turmoil match.
