WWE legend tears up saying he will be stepping away from the ring temporarily due to ongoing real-life family tragedy

A WWE and ECW legend was at an enormous wrestling event tonight, where they shared details about a serious real-life issue they were facing in an emotional promo. Tommy Dreamer shared tragic news about his mother during IMPACT Rebellion, leaving fans wishing him all the best.

During the interview, the WWE legend said that it was the worst week of his life. He shared that his mother had suffered a serious stroke last week. While his mother opened her eyes and he told her that he loved her, she was still unresponsive. He also said that he was wrestling at IMPACT Wrestling Rebellion despite the fact that the promotion had allowed him time off.

Tommy Dreamer still working in spite of all that has been going on with his mom. What he said in tears was genuine, real, emotional…the sacrifices wrestlers make and the bond they share. One of the most powerful things I’ve seen on a wrestling show maybe ever. #Rebellion

He added that he would be going away after the show to be with his family.

It was confirmed soon after by PWInsider that the story Dreamer had shared about his mother in his promo was completely true and was an ongoing real-life tragedy he was facing. They said she was originally scheduled to come home this week but suffered a stroke on that very day.
