Learned of the sad news of Davey Coates passing. Davey was @WWE’s international touring manager and was largely responsible for making all international shows, large and small happen. He ensured our wrestling rings got to the most remote corners of the world, our backstage ran smoothly and always took great care and personal pride in assisting our NXT UK talent at the “UK Performance Centre.”
Davey sent me this photo some years ago, another memory from an international tour 30 years ago... The thoughts of our crew, our talent and the entire WWE family are with his family today. See ya down the road, Davey. Catch you at the next gig.
Godspeed, Davey Coates. Another absolute legend behind the scenes who tirelessly worked for decades to bring @wwe to the globe. I can’t say enough about his passion and dedication. I’m honored to have worked with him and shared countless laughs along the way. My heart goes out to his friends, family, and all touched by this loss. Rest well, sir. 🙏
This one hurts. Another unsung Hero behind the scenes that you don't see gone far too soon. Rest in peace my Coatsie. Enry has big shoes to fill but he will make you proud! May your memory be ever eternal my brother! 🙏❤️
