Sara Lee’s Cause of Death
The news of Sara’s passing was shared by her mother, Terri Lee, who did not reveal the cause of death. While she had mentioned dealing with a sinus infection in her social media posts, it was never confirmed as the cause of her death. In fact, she had also shared that she had recovered and was well enough to return to the gym.
As of now, no official cause of death has been publicly released by her family or WWE. We will update this section if any verified information becomes available.
Net Worth
Sara Lee’s estimated net worth was between $500,000 and $1 million. Unlike many long-time WWE main roster stars, winners of WWE Tough Enough did not typically build multi-million-dollar net worths early in their careers. Her earnings mainly came from her work as a professional wrestler, fitness personality, and television figure.
Lee rose to fame after winning the 2015 season of WWE Tough Enough through a fan vote, which earned her a one-year WWE contract reportedly worth $250,000. However, she did not go on to have a lengthy career on WWE’s main roster.
She also made her first appearance for WWE’s developmental territory NXT at a live event in Orlando, Florida, on January 16, 2016. During this debut, she appeared under her real name and delivered a heel promo to the crowd.

Sara Lee resided in Florida. She married Wesley Blake on December 30, 2017, and together they had three children: their daughter Piper, born in 2017, and their two sons, Brady, born in 2019, and Case, born in 2021. Sara passed away on October 6, 2022, at the age of 30, leaving behind her young family. She was born in Michigan and became involved in competitive powerlifting at a young age.
She graduated from Meridian High School in 2010 and later attended Delta College in Bay City, Michigan, where she studied diagnostic medical sonography. Sara gained national attention after winning WWE Tough Enough in 2015 and trained as a wrestler, although she did not become a full-time main roster WWE superstar.
