‘The Bruiser’ RJ Meyer is no more as he has passed away following a battle with leukemia since 2019.
He was diagnosed with leukemia back in March of last year, after he underwent a normal checkup. He then had a bone marrow transplant procedure last year in October.
His health gradually declined over the past year and he succumbed to it in the end. Lio Rush, who was trained by Meyer in the past took to Twitter and announced that he was losing his battle against leukemia and asked for prayers.
Tara Meyer announced on the “Team #BruiserStrong” Facebook page regarding his passing. MCW Pro Wrestling then sent out a message in light of the sad news.
