World Wrestling Entertainment posted a tribute to the star on its website on Monday.
“Known as ‘The Master and Ruler of the World’, Sid’s reputation as one of the toughest and most thrilling Superstars cemented his legacy in WWE, and his influence can still be seen in wrestling rings around the world,” the tribute read. “WWE extends its condolences to Eudy’s family, friends and fans.”
Social media users on X, formerly called Twitter, mourned Eudy’s death online, including fellow WWE stars Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels.
