On tonight’s episode of WWE NXT, Vic Joseph and Booker T paid tribute to Jay Briscoe, who passed away earlier today at the age of 38.
There aren’t a ton of details out right now but PWInsider reported that Jay passed away in a car accident in Laurel, Delaware just a few hours ago. Although Jay never worked for WWE, his passing is being felt throughout the wrestling world and it’s a very classy move by WWE to acknowledge him on the air.
We send our deepest condolences to Jay Briscoe’s family and friends.
Jay Briscoe was just mentioned on #WWENXT
Professional wrestling is a family.
