WWE to Honor The Ultimate Warrior With Tribute Show

The Ultimate Warrior tragically passed away this past Tuesday at age 54. The WWE family has been rocked by the incident, as just days before, Warrior was inducted as the headlining attraction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Now, much like other wrestlers who passed away long before their time was due, it appears the company is set to honor the fallen former WWF Champion.

According to F4WOnline.com, the upcoming episode of “Monday Night Raw” will be an Ultimate Warrior tribute show. The episode will take place from Birmingham, Ala. While it is unknown in what capacity WWE will pay tribute to him, it is expected to be more than the usual inscription prior to a broadcast as seen in the past.

Following the deaths of Eddie Guerrero and Owen Hart, WWE dedicated entire episodes of “Raw” in their memory. The most recent episode of “Impact Wrestling” even featured a graphic honoring Warrior.

Editor’s Note

A classy move by WWE, even about a week after his death. It’s the right thing to do, as the community is still reeling from these tragic events. This would be an excellent spot for a Vince McMahon appearance.
