WWE has announced that Sue Aitchison, a 30-year veteran of WWE’s corporate office, has been named the recipient of the fifth annual Warrior Award.
The award will be presented to Aitchison by Dana Warrior, WWE Ambassador and widow of The Ultimate Warrior, at the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on April 6th.
A WWE employee for more than 30 years, Sue Aitchison is widely credited as spearheading WWE’s community outreach programs. Over the course of her storied career, she built a long-term partnership with Make-A-Wish and helped grant WWE wishes to more than 6,000 children. Aitchison also pioneered WWE’s WrestleMania Reading Challenge, inspiring a love of reading for millions of children.
"Sue has dedicated her entire career to helping Wish kids fulfill their dreams and putting smiles on countless families faces. Her heart and character epitomize the essence of the Warrior Award," said Stephanie McMahon, WWE Chief Brand Officer. "She is an unsung hero who deserves to be recognized and immortalized in the WWE Hall of Fame."
The Ultimate Warrior wanted this award to go to those within WWE so it's good to see the company finally using it for that as they've been criticised for the recipients in recent years.
