PWInsider.com is extremely sad to report that Jerome “New Jack” Young passed away earlier this afternoon following a heart attack in North Carolina, where he had lived in recent years. PWInsider.com was informed by Young’s wife Jennifer of his passing. Young was 58 at the time of his passing.
At times, Young was one of the most controversial wrestlers in professional wrestling, but he was also one of the more intense and charismatic performers over the last several decades. The New Jack name was inspired by the film New Jack City once Young imagined fans chanting it while he was in the ring, a vision that certainly came true countless times over.
WWE SmackDown: Natalya and Tamina Become New Women s Tag Team Champions
✖
Tonight s SmackDown didn t take long to put some Championship gold on the line, as the first match of the night was a match for the Women s Tag Team Championships between Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax against Natalya and Tamina. Baszler and Jax were in lethal mode tonight, and they immediately did some damage to the pair with a big Samoan Drop to Tamina on the outside of the ring that left Natalya in a two-on-one scenario, and Baszler and Jax quickly capitalized. They kept Natalya in their corner and switched up on doing damage to her arm and wrist, and Baszler was looking pretty confident about their win.
This Friday, Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler will put the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on the line against Tamina & Natalya in a WrestleMania Rematch. Tamina & Natalya are resolved that the disrespected they feel will go on no longer. But will their determination be enough to overcome the dominant titleholders? Find out this Friday night at 8/7 C on FOX.
