The wrestling world was devastated when the news of Jay Briscoe's tragic passing broke back on January 17, 2023. Jay, who was one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions alongside his brother Mark, was killed in a head on collision with another vehicle. Jay's two daughters, Gracie & Jayleigh, were also injured in the accident. Since then, a family friend of the Pugh family has provided an update on Gracie and Jayleigh, which you can see by clicking here.
