Former WWE superstar Michelle McCool has announced on social media that her nephew has passed away in a tragic accident.

McCool, who has been name-dropped several times on WWE programming as of late in the AJ Styles/Undertaker feud, said that she received a call on Sunday night informing her that her nephew Rhett had died at the age of 18.

Michelle understandably didn’t reveal the details of what happened, with her statement in full being seen below.

I’ve sat on this trying to find the words. I’ve realized the words will probably never come. Getting a call Sunday night that my sweet nephew, Rhett MCCool, had been in a tragic accident, has rocked my world. It doesn’t make sense! If you knew him, you loved him. Always hunting, fishing, wearing cowboy boots……& ALWAYS smiling! 💔

This one hurts. It hurts a lot. It hurts not being able to be with the rest of my family right now. It hurts knowing he was 18 with an entire life ahead! It hurts knowing the pain his parents, brother & rest of his family & friends are feeling! Emotions have been ALL over…but the love, the love I have for him, the love that has been outpouring for him, the love of eternally resting (& most likely already hunting or fishing) with his Heavenly Father is what I choose to hold onto! Matt, Ashley, sweet Clay & the rest of the McCool clan….we love you & cant wait to see you soon!
