This week’s edition of popular sports-entertainment program SmackDown LIVE will begin on a sombre note to salute the late Tarantula of Erick Rowan, known affectionately behind-the-scenes as Tula.

Wrestlers, management and neutered writers will gather on the entrance ramp for a ten-bell salute — a toll for each of Tula’s eyes and venom sacs.

Tula was a standout prospect last year at the WWE Performance Center, and performed a series of critically acclaimed NXT tryouts against Millie thr Millipede and “The Reverend” Praying Mantis.

Her untimely squashing this week saddened the wrestling world, but we find solace in the belief that she is now reunited with her late husband, Damian.
