The 23-year-old Pillman Jr. is the second Pillman prodigy to try their hand at the craft, as his stepsister Alexis started training and worked the indy scene before tragically dying in a car crash at just 26 years old.

He passed away due to a heart attack in his hotel room. Cocaine was reportedly found in his system as well.
Here's to hoping for the best for Pillman Jr.!
