WWE is set to honor Shad Gaspard the Warrior Award at this year’s Hall Of Fame ceremony.

Gaspard died in a tragic incident back in 2020 on Venice Beach with his son while playing in the sea. The former WWE Superstar was dragged away by a riptide at the beach.

It was reported Gaspard insisted on lifeguards saving his son before himself.

Dave Meltzer revealed the news in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter: “It has been reported elsewhere that Shad Gaspard would be the winner of this year’s Warrior Award. Those in WWE have confirmed that to be accurate.”
