It is with sadness we report the passing of Paul Reubens, best known for his iconic portrayal of Pee-Wee Herman. The talented actor, who brought joy to audiences since 1977 with his beloved character, succumbed to cancer on Sunday night at the age of 70.

Paul had been courageously battling cancer for the past six years, a personal struggle he chose to keep private. In a heartfelt note written by Paul before his passing and shared by his family after his death, the actor expressed remorse for not sharing his diagnosis with the world. 

Paul Reubens leaves behind a legacy of laughter and positivity, as Pee-Wee Herman became an enduring part of popular culture.

On the November 1, 2010, episode of WWE RAW held at the Nassau Coliseum, Pee-wee Herman made a special guest appearance. Throughout the show, he engaged in playful backstage shenanigans and eventually found himself in the wrestling ring, confronting The Miz and Alex Riley.

The appearance led to Herman winning a Slammy Award for the Guest Star Shining Moment of the Year on December 13, 2010.

Pee-wee Herman's association with WWE didn't end there. He made a special comeback during WrestleMania XXVII, sharing a segment with wrestling legends, The Rock and Gene Okerlund. In this memorable appearance, he humorously revealed himself as John Cena's biggest fan, delighting the audience with his trademark quirky charm. 

WNS sends our condolences to Paul Reubens' family, friends, and fans as they mourn the loss of the beloved actor.
