The pro wrestling community suffered a loss just hours ago, as former WWE Superstar Sara Lee passed away at the age of 30.
Lee took part in the 2015 season of WWE Tough Enough competition and made it into the ranks of thirteen finalists for the show's sixth season. Despite being at the risk of elimination, she won a $250,000 one-year contract with the company after being chosen by fan votes as the victor.
Making her NXT debut at a live event on January 16, 2016, she made a splash with a heel promo. Sara further went on to feud with multiple high-profile stars like Liv Morgan and Mandy Rose. However, she was released from her contract on September 30, 2016.
Despite her relatively short time in the pro wrestling scene, she touched the lives of her fellow stars and made an impression on their hearts.
