We are sad to learn about the loss of Antione Long, the son of celebrated WWE Hall of Famer and former SmackDown General Manager, Teddy Long. The news of his passing broke over the weekend after being shared by friends and family members on social media.
Details regarding Antione’s passing are scarce at this time. The confirmation of his death came via an outpouring of grief and remembrance from those close to the Long family on Facebook. Antione was active on his own social media accounts as recently as four days ago, when he shared a photo of himself at a Planet Fitness location.
While Antione himself was not a public figure in the wrestling industry, he was known and loved by many within the community through his connection to his father. His passing has been met with shock and sadness from those who knew him.
At this time, no further details regarding the cause of death or Antione’s age have been made public. The family has not yet released an official statement. We send our deepest condolences to Teddy and the entire family.
