WWE acknowledged the passing of the late Shad Gaspard on their NXT on USA broadcast on 5/20, showing a graphic along with the words “In Memory of Shad Gaspard 1981-2020.”
Some fans wondered why the company didn’t make any mention of him on Monday Night Raw and a source noted that it was simply because at that time, despite the odds, there was no official confirmation that he had passed away.
