Former WWE RAW Guest General Manager Has Died At Only 41 Years Old

Former WWE RAW General Manager Kyle Busch has died

Busch, a giant of the NASCAR world, was competing in his 22nd NASCAR season when he was hospitalized with severe illness. He, unfortunately, was not able to make it out and died. The star is a 2-time Cup Series champion.

His family made a joint statement with Richard Childress Racing and NASCAR, talking about what happened.

“On behalf of the Busch family, everyone at Richard Childress Racing and all of NASCAR, we are devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Kyle Busch. Our entire NASCAR family is heartbroken by the loss of Kyle Busch. A future Hall of Famer, Kyle was a rare talent, one who comes along once in a generation. He was fierce, he was passionate, he was immensely skilled and he cared deeply about the sport and fans. Throughout a career that spanned more than two decades, Kyle set records in national series wins, won championships at NASCAR’s highest level and fostered the next generation of drivers as an owner in the Truck Series. His sharp wit and competitive spirit sparked a deep emotional connection with race fans of every age, creating the proud and loyal ‘Rowdy Nation.’ Our thoughts are with Samantha, Brexton and Lennix, Kyle and Samantha’s parents, Kurt and all of Kyle’s family, Richard and Judy Childress, everyone at Richard Childress Racing, his teammates, friends and fans. NASCAR lost a giant of the sport today, far too soon.”

They went on to ask fans to respect the family’s privacy during this time and to keep them in their thoughts and prayers.

Busch made an immediate impact in 2009 when he first showed up on WWE RAW as a guest General Manager.

He also appeared in WWE in December 2019, where he defeated R-Truth and pinned him suddenly to become the new 24/7 Champion.

We at Sportskeeda send our condolences to his family and friends in this difficult time.
