Bullying is a serious issue which many children and even adults have to endure on a day-to-day basis.
AJ Styles and other WWE stars have worked in WWE's 'Be a star', an anti-bullying initiative.
The heart of the matter
WWE stars took to Twitter to assure Keaton that this was just a temporary phase of his life and encouraged him to stay strong.
AJ Styles addressed Keaton on Twitter and told him that his bullies were insecure, and did not like what they saw when they looked at themselves. He advised him to stay strong and said that he has many friends, including 'The Phenomenal One' himself.
Other WWE and NXT stars such as Kevin Owens, Nia Jax, Bayley, Peyton Royce, Aleister Black, Carmella, Chris Jericho and Paige also took to Twitter to speak out against bullying. They encouraged Keaton to stay strong and called him an inspiration to so many others, letting him know they were all with him.
What's next?
Keaton's video drew an enormous amount of attention from people all over the world. With WWE stars in his corner, Keaton's bullies are likely to think twice before saying anything to him.
Author's take
It is great to see WWE stars step up when it came to speaking on behalf of a bullied child. Being idols of so many people, them lending their voices to a cause like this would help Keaton get past all the barriers put in his way.
