Days after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, wrestling icon The Ultimate Warrior died on Tuesday. He was 54-years-old.
Sadly, he died suddenly and horrifically, right in front of his wife. According to TMZ. Warrior collapsed without warning outside an Arizona hotel at 5:50PM Tuesday while walking to his car with his wife.
He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Around 6AM Tuesday morning, just hours before his death, Warrior posed for pictures at the airport in New Orleans with fans where he was reportedly in great spirits.

Following the announcement, WWE officials released this statement: “WWE is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the most iconic WWE superstars ever, The Ultimate Warrior.”
Hellwig began his career in 1987 and through the years became one of the biggest wrestling stars in the company. He defeated Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI to win the world title.
On Saturday the wrestling legend was honored during the Hall of Fame induction — a ceremony that also marked his return to WWE after an 18-year hiatus. During his Hall of Fame speech, he announced that he’d signed a new multi-year deal with WWE to serve as an official ambassador.
