The episode of Raw on Netflix last night ended with an in memoriam graphic for Jim Shank.
Shank, who passed away on February 6 right after his 60th birthday, was part of the WWE Event Technical Operations department where he worked for over 26 years and held the position of Technical Operations Manager.
Shank had been battling colorectal cancer for a few years and last year, a GoFundMe campaign for him raised over $220,745 which went towards his fight against cancer. Vince McMahon donated over half of that amount, with others such as Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Alexa Bliss, Bruce Prichard, Chris Jericho, and others donating large sums of money as well.
“On Friday, the @WWE family lost a beloved member of its production crew,” Triple H posted on X. “Jim Shank was a fixture backstage and an incredible teammate, who helped create the magic of the live experience at WWE. My thoughts and those of our entire crew and talent roster are with his family at this time. It’s never goodbye…but see ya down the road.”
