Yesterday, we saw the return of Shawn Spears in the ring for AEW. Brought into the mix to battle The Embassy alongside FTR – Spears would show he’s as good as ever, and got great reactions from the fans of Canada. However, many were still wondering why he vanished over the past few months, but in some YouTube exclusive footage following AEW Rampage – we’d get some answers on that front.
Shawn Spears Was Off TV After A Death In His Family, Reveals He Will Soon Be A Father
During this promo for the live audience, Spears would reveal it was not injury – but rather dealing with the loss of his mother – and that he will be a father soon. Spears would be quoted saying the following.
“Oh, goddamn, I missed you. To Dax’s point, no better place in the world to be than Toronto. But Dax’s point last night, the reception you guys gave FTR, it brought a tear to my eye as well, but for different reasons. I had to follow it. But like they said, well deserved. So I’ve been gone for a long time, and there’s been some speculation as to why. Injuries, different plans, none of that’s true.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m in Toronto. I don’t know if it’s because I’m home. I’m a pretty private person, but I feel like I owe you all an explanation. Two months ago, I Iost my mom. She would have been front and center like she has been at every other show if she was here tonight. But that woman is a perfect 10 in every way, shape, and form. Two blessings came out of that.
Number one, we had time to say everything we ever wanted to say, to make her feel as loved as she possibly could. Most people don’t have that luxury. The second blessing was that on this Mother’s Day, she was the very first person to know that I was gonna be a father. So the way I see it, there’s a guardian Angel looking over my soon-to-be beautiful baby boy. So I’ve been pulled in a bunch of different directions mentally, emotionally.”
