Rising WWE Star Sara Lee Tragically Passes Away at Only 30 Years Old
The professional wrestler and reality TV star known as Sara Lee has passed away unexpectedly at the age of 30.
Her real name was Sara Weston, and in 2015, she emerged victorious in Tough Enough, a competition where contestants competed for a contract with WWE, the professional wrestling organization.
She had been a competitive powerlifter and was married to former WWE wrestler Cory James Weston, known as Wesley Blake, and they had three children. The cause of her death has not been disclosed.
Her mother, Terri Lee, shared the news of her passing in a statement on Facebook: “It is with heavy hearts we wanted to share that our Sara Weston has gone to be with Jesus.
“We are all in shock, and arrangements are not complete. We ask that you respectfully let our family mourn. We all need prayers, especially Cory and her children.”
The day before her passing, she had posted on Instagram that she was celebrating finally being healthy enough to go to the gym two days in a row. “First-ever sinus infection kicked my butt,” she said.
In a statement, WWE expressed their condolences: “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.”
Chelsea Green, another wrestler, described her as a “beautiful human”.
Saraya Bevis, an English former wrestler known in the ring as Paige, said her death was “heartbreakingly tragic”.
Japanese professional wrestler Asuka said: “I’ll miss Sara forever.”
