The 2-time WWE Tag Team Champion alongside his late partner Hawk, who died in 2003, were known for their hard-hitting combinations inside the ring and the crowds loved them even more for it.

Animal was working as a co-host for Sportskeeda's Monday Night Raw aftershow on Facebook, Legion of RAW alongside Chris Featherstone. Once news broke of Animal's death, Sportskeeda reached out to Chris, who sadly confirmed the news.

Sportskeeda wishes to extend our condolences to the family of Joseph Laurinaitis, a.k.a. Road Warrior Animal. He will be missed as his time on this earth was legendary, and legends never die.
