AEW personality Arn Anderson recently took to Twitter to disclose the passing of his son, Barrett Anthony Lunde.

The pro-wrestling world has been the recipient of one tragic news after the other in the recent past few months. The passing of Kevin Nash's son Tristan and Jay Briscoe's sudden demise is still quite fresh on the list of upsetting events. Arn Anderson's son has apparently passed away as well.

The AEW veteran's podcast account (The ARN Show) took to Twitter to break the news, alongside a family photo. Arn Anderson also put forth a morose message while mourning his loss.

"Last night my family suffered a loss that should never he felt by any parent. Our older son Barrett passed away. I am struggling to write this. Tell those you love that you love them. Barrett was just 37," Arn Anderson tweeted.

He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
