It was revealed that the fan was suffering from a fatal disease and when he died he made his will in which he gave all the money he save to the legendary wrestler and this all sum made up to 2.5 million dollars which was a big thing at that time.

Shawn even did not have a chance to meet that fan as he never thought of something happening like this anytime in his whole career and even was not aware of the situation until the money was credited and he was in a meeting with the lawyer of the fan where he was made aware of the situation.

Former WWE Champion never talked about this whole incident as he never knew what to say about the fan and about the money he gained in many interviews he was even asked about how he felt about the money to which he always replies with No Comments.
