The wrestling world has been mourning the death of Sara Lee, who passed away suddenly at the age of 30. Many stars across the wrestling industry took to social media to share tributes, photos, and memories with Lee, and Bayley paid tribute to Lee during tonight’s WWE Extreme Rules. When Bayley was coming to the ring BT Sport noticed that Sara was written on Bayley’s blue wrist tape when she paused by a ladder, and you can find the photo in the post below. Our thoughts are with Lee’s family and friends.
Lee was the winner of WWE’s Tough Enough competition in season 6, and she would go on to wrestle in NXT. WWE released a tribute to Lee on social media, which read “WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of Sara Lee. As a former “Tough Enough” winner, Lee served as an inspiration to many in the sports-entertainment world. WWE offers its heartfelt condolences to her family, friends and fans.”

A GoFundMe was set up to help the family with expenses, and you can find the page here. The GoFundMe description reads “We’re all shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Tough Enough winner Sara Lee. As her loving husband, Cory, picks up the pieces and continues to raise their 3 children, the last thing anyone in that position wants to be worried about is money and paying for a funeral and everything else that comes along with it. The wrestling community has always been one to come together in the wake of tragedy and this is no different. Every penny raised from this will go directly to Cory and the kids. Thank you all in advance. RIP Sara, you were one of the good ones. – Bull”
