The mood backstage at RAW in Dallas, TX today is said to be somber due to the death of Umaga. Most figure it’ll be worse tomorrow because his closest friends are mostly on the SmackDown! brand.
As of last word, a video package was being prepared. No word on when that will air. It may air at the start of the show tonight. They may also only air it on WWE.com. We’ll see.
Shad Gaspard and Charlie Haas were both described as devastated. Haas was a business partner with Eddie.
