Stephanie McMahon Remembers Connor Michalek In Heartfelt Blog

WWE Chief Brand Officer, Stephanie McMahon wrote a special blog for Huffington Post about the late WWE fan Conor Michalek aged 8 who died on April 25 following a long battle with pediatric brain cancer. Conor was highlighted by WWE during WrestleMania 30 weekend, in which he attended some of his last WWE events.

But you would never know it from his huge personality and his megawatt smile.

"Stephanie, please meet one of my best friends, Connor." said our ring announcer Justin Roberts. Connor looked up at me with his captivating, chocolate brown eyes and immediately asked, "Do you want to see my t-shirt?"
