WWE star Shawn Spears, who recently made a stunning return to the company, has shared a heartfelt and emotional post on social media, revealing a personal loss he suffered last week. The former AEW wrestler, known for his brutal matches and dominating performances in NXT, broke character to share the devastating news of losing his best friend of 20 years.
Spears, 43, opened up to his fans on social media, revealing that his close friend had passed away after a long battle with cancer. The WWE star shared a poignant message, saying that his friend had left behind young children, and the last text he received from him was a reminder to “love his babies.” Spears also shared some hard-hitting advice, telling fans to cherish and appreciate the time they have with their loved ones.
The emotional post came as a surprise to many fans, who are used to seeing Spears’ tough and aggressive persona in the ring. However, his heartfelt words and personal loss have humanized him, and fans have been pouring in condolences and support on social media.
Despite his personal struggles, Spears has been making waves in the WWE, picking up key wins and setting his sights on potential title reigns. His recent match against Dijak, however, ended in defeat, with Joe Gacy’s sudden appearance from under the ring causing a distraction that ultimately led to Spears’ loss.
As Spears navigates this difficult time, fans and peers alike have been offering their support and condolences. ReelZap would like to extend its condolences to Shawn Spears and his family during this difficult time.
