The wrestling world is heartbroken after the death of Scarlett Guillen, the 8-year-old WWE fan who formed a special bond with Charlotte Flair during her battle with Diffuse Midline Glioma.
Scarlett’s fight with DMG, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, touched a lot of people far beyond her own family. WWE fans came to know her through one of the company’s community outreach efforts, but her connection with Charlotte Flair became much more than a one-time moment for the cameras.
Charlotte honored Scarlett in a huge way at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025, wearing entrance gear designed by Scarlett. Flair later dedicated her WrestleMania 42 entrance attire to Scarlett and her cancer battle, making sure Scarlett’s story was carried onto one of WWE’s biggest stages.
Scarlett’s family confirmed the devastating news through her GoFundMe page, sharing a tribute that made it clear just how much love surrounded her.
“Our hearts are shattered beyond words. After an incredibly courageous battle with DMG, our beautiful daughter Scarlett has gained her angel wings. She was only eight years old, yet she touched more lives than many people do in a lifetime.
Scarlett was the light of every room she entered. She had the funniest personality, a contagious laugh, and a smile that could brighten even the darkest days. She was strong, determined, silly, and full of love. She had a way of making everyone around her laugh.
Being Scarlett’s parents has been the greatest honor of our lives. Every moment with her was a gift. Although our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing she is in heaven running around making new friends and back on the softball field.
Throughout Scarlett’s journey, our family has been surrounded by an incredible community of love and support. From every prayer, every message, every meal, every donation, every act of kindness, you all have carried us through the unimaginable.
There are simply no words that can express how grateful we are. As we navigate this heartbreaking loss, we are asking for help with Scarlett’s funeral and memorial expenses so we can give her the beautiful farewell she deserves. Any contribution, no matter what the amount, will help ease the financial burden during this devastating time. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and consider sharing Scarlett’s story.
Our precious Scarlett will forever be loved, forever be missed, and forever be our greatest blessing.”
Scarlett’s story hit especially hard because she was not just another face in a WWE community segment. She became part of Charlotte Flair’s journey, and Charlotte made sure fans knew Scarlett mattered. From Survivor Series to WrestleMania, Scarlett’s creativity, courage, and spirit were seen by millions.
Our thoughts are with Scarlett Guillen’s family, friends, and everyone who loved her during this heartbreaking time.
