Shad Gaspard passed away at 39 years of age on May 17th, 2020. He got caught in a strong current while swimming at Venice Beach, California. Gaspard instructed lifeguards to save his son before him. Shad’s son survived thanks to his actions.

This was the 3rd WWE tag-team title win for 45-year-old Shelton Benjamin. His last title reign came over 17 years ago when he held the titles for 77 days in 2003 with Charlie Haas.

Cedric Alexander won a WWE tag-title for the first time last night. The 31-year-old is also a former WWE Cruiserweight Champion. He’s twice held the WWE 24/7 title as well.

This was the 4th title change for the RAW tag titles this year. The Viking Raiders, Murphy & Seth Rollins, The Street Profits, New Day, and the Hurt Business have all held the belts in 2020.
