According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, AEW President Tony Khan is giving AEW staff the choice to skip this week’s or next week’s “Dynamite” in order to attend Rotunda’s memorial services.
Rotunda, who had health concerns earlier this year, passed away last Thursday at the age of 36. Heart attack has been identified as the cause of death for the three-time former WWE World Champion. Since then, it has come to light that Rotunda passed away on Thursday afternoon while dozing off; he was not donning the defibrillator that a physician had advised him to do.
When WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt unexpectedly passed away last week, the wrestling industry suffered a terrible loss. Many AEW celebrities knew Wyatt personally, therefore it’s possible that some of them will skip filming for TV to attend Wyatt’s burial ceremony.
