Shad Gaspard was 39-years old, and left his wife and a 10-year old kid behind. Several wrestlers and other wrestling personalities took to Social Media to remember Shad, with many hailing him as a hero for making sure that his son was saved moments before he passed away.
The picture John Cena posted is from the July 7, 2008 edition of WWE RAW, and shows Cena and Cryme Tyme giving JBL's limo a makeover. Check out the post below:
John Cena and Cryme Tyme had formed a short-lived stable back in 2008
Back in mid-2008, Cena kicked off a feud with JBL, with Cryme Tyme aiding him in vandalizing JBL's limo and spraying the letters "CTC" on the front part of the vehicle. Cena later confirmed that he had formed a faction with Cryme Tyme, dubbed as "Cryme Tyme Cenation". Cena was soon injured and the faction was quietly disbanded.
One wonders what a brief run alongside Cena would have done for Cryme Tyme's career. Shad Gaspard and JTG were both popular among the fans, but never managed to hold Championship gold.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
