Daffney passed away in September of 2021
Daffney, real name Shannon Claire Spruill, began her professional wrestling career in 1999 under WCW. During her time with the company, she was mostly known for her association with David Flair and Crowbar. Daffney was also the second woman after Madusa to win the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.
Prior to WWE's purchase of WCW, Daffney was released by the company due to budget cuts. She then started competing on the independent scene before she signed with TNA.
Earlier this year, Daffney, unfortunately, took her own life. In September, in an Instagram live video, she read a suicide note and asked for her brain to be donated for CTE testing.
Following the circulation of the live video across social media platforms, concerned fans expressed their support for Daffney. However, the following day, Daffney's passing was announced online.
After her death, the professional wrestling industry showcased its condolences toward Daffney's family and mental health awareness once again became a topic of discussion in the pro wrestling industry.
