WWE Tough Enough gave the company some young future performers who looked promising. Sara Lee took part in the 2015 season of Tough Enough. She finished the season with first place and made quite a name for herself with the win. As a consequence, she was given a one-year contract and promoted.
She made a few appearances in the NXT tournaments, but top officials were not impressed with her in-ring skills, and in 2017 her contract was terminated. Sara Lee was the wife of former WWE wrestler Wesley Blake. After the couple’s 2017 marriage, they had three children from their marriage. They had a peaceful family but after Sara’s sudden demise in October last year, everything seemed painful.

Dear Sara,
I loved you from the first moment I saw you.
I would always say that you were an angel walking on this earth.
Beautiful, compassionate, strong and so loving.

But you were soo much more than just mom. You were a motivator, a best friend, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, the back bone of our family, and (my favorite), my wife.”
