WWE’s Charlotte Flair and LA Knight have taken to social media to each pay tribute to the life of Scarlett Guillen, who recently passed away aged 8.
As confirmed by her family with a GoFundMe page set up on Sunday (July 5), Scarlett Guillen, a young WWE fan who forged a deep connection with Charlotte Flair, passed away at the age of 8. She had been battling diffuse midline glioma (DMG) – a rare form of brain cancer.
Scarlett’s bond with Charlotte Flair was documented by WWE in a short YouTube film titled: ‘More Than A Fan: The Story of Charlotte Flair and Scarlett, which detailed how Flair became close with Scarlett and her family upon first meeting her over FaceTime in 2024.
Scarlett would help design Flair’s ring gear for her WarGames Match at last year’s Survivor Series premium live event, with the pair sharing a touching interaction before the match in San Diego.
Following the news of Scarlett’s passing, Flair took to Twitter to share a tribute to her memory as well as words for her sister Ellena and parents Kim and Isiah.
Flair wrote:
“Thank you for the light you brought into my life. I’ll never forget the day MJ texted me and told me he had a little fan with him who wanted to meet me. At a time when I was feeling sorry for myself, you gave me something so much greater than I could have ever given you. You gave me perspective. You taught me courage, gratitude, joy, and how precious every single moment truly is. Those lessons will stay with me for the rest of my life.
“To Kim and Isiah, watching the way you loved Scarlett through the hardest chapter imaginable has forever changed me. Even on the darkest days, you made sure she had something to smile about, something to look forward to, and a life filled with laughter, hope, and unconditional love. The strength, grace, and selflessness you have shown as parents is beyond inspiring. I hope that one day I can be even half the parent you both are. Thank you for trusting me with your beautiful family, for letting me love Scarlett and Ellena, and for giving me memories I will cherish forever. You’re family now… you’re stuck with me.
“To Ellena, from one big sister to another you will carry Scarlett with you forever. She will always be a part of who you are, and I know you’ll honor her in everything you do. The love you have for your little sister is something that can never be taken away. Now you’re my little sister too, kiddo, and I can’t wait to watch you grow into the incredible young woman Scarlett already knew you would become. I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.
“And to you, Scarlett… You reminded all of us that a life isn’t measured by its length, but by the love it leaves behind. Your light doesn’t end here. It lives on in your family, your friends, and in every heart you touched. It lives on in every butterfly that makes someone stop and smile, and in every diamond that catches the light.
“You will always be our butterfly. You will always be our diamond girl.
“You are loved beyond words, and you will never, ever be forgotten. Forever.”
LA Knight, was another WWE star who met Scarlett on several occasions, and he also took to Instagram to share some of their interactions, as well as a message celebrating her memory:
“I am saddened and heartbroken at the news of the passing of one of the sweetest, strongest little girls I’ve ever met.
“Back in 2024 in Seattle I met Scarlett Guillen for the first time at a children’s hospital, and since then have seen her a handful of times along my travels.
“In hindsight, I wish I had given her more of my time. I’m devastated for the family as I can’t imagine what they’re going through. But they raised an amazing little fighter with a gigantic heart in Scarlett.
“I will miss her smile, her energy, her fighting spirit, the little giggle from our first meeting that still tickles me every time I hear it in the video.
“It’s tough at a time like this to celebrate anything, but today, I celebrate Scarlett. Her life. Her spirit. Rest in peace, sweet girl.”
We at WrestleTalk extend our deepest condolences to the Scarlett Guillen’s loved ones and those affected by her passing.
