Seth Rollins’ Black and Brave Wrestling Academy issues statement on death of student

As we noted earlier on the site, Jonah Snyder, 20, died last Thursday at The Black and Brave Wrestling Academy. The school is owned by WWE Superstar Seth Rollins (Colby Lopez). Snyder was training with eight other students when he fell ill and then went into cardiac arrest. He died later at the hospital.

The Black and Brave Wrestling Academy issued the following statement on their official Twitter account:

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our student, Jonah Snyder. Jonah attended the first night of our 7th Black and Brave class a week ago. After briefly participating in fitness drills with his classmates he abruptly fell ill. Emergency personnel were called and Jonah was rushed to the hospital. He passed away en route. No cause of death has been determined.

Jonah loved professional wrestling and in closing we wanted to leave you with his words. Below is an excerpt from the essay Jonah penned for his application to our school. All of our thoughts are with Jonah’s family and friends as they go through this incredibly difficult time.

I live, breath, sleep, and eat wrestling. It’s in my blood. I want to learn it so I can travel the world putting a smile on people’s faces. I wanna give them hope or something to believe in.
