World Wrestling Entertainment was informed Friday morning by Lance McNaught’s father that he has passed away of apparent heart failure. WWE extends its deepest condolences to the McNaught family. Mr. McNaught was under contract from March 2003 to October 2008 and performed under the name “Lance Cade.” He returned to FCW, WWE’s developmental territory, in September 2009, and was released in April 2010.
Cade, who was trained by Shawn Michaels first made a name for himself in 2003 when he was called up from developmental to tag-team with Mark Jindrak.
After being sent back down to OVW, he reemerged with a new partner Trevor Murdoch in 2005 winning three World Tag Team titles, and reached the peak of his career by joining forces with Chris Jericho in 2008.
Unfortunately due to a drug induced seizure on an airplane he was released from the company and never made it back past developmental.
He is survived by his two young daughters Natallye and Laryssa.
