The 2022 Warrior Award recipient has reportedly been revealed, ahead of this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony.
Since 2015, WWE has presented the Warrior Award to individuals who have ‘exhibited unwavering strength and perseverance, and who live life with the courage and compassion’.
Per Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE sources have confirmed to him that Shad Gaspard will be honored as this year’s recipient.

Following Titus O’Neil receiving 2020 award, and long-time WWE employee Rich Hering earning the 2021 award, both at the 2021 Hall of Fame ceremony, many fans and wrestlers alike expressed a despite to see Gaspard earn the award.
WWE has yet to officially announce a 2022 Warrior Award recipient.
The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony airs after SmackDown on April 1, the day before the first night of WrestleMania 38.
