Over the past few years, Sir Mo's health spiraled as he got a kidney transplant in 2018. A few years later, his body rejected the kidney transplant, and he was indeed in need of a new one. In October 2025, Mo passed away in the ICU following a two-month battle against severe infection and pneumonia.

According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Bobby 'Mo' Horne reached out to WWE to get a down payment of 30,000 dollars for a new liver transplant. Mo made a plea to the company as they promised to pay for his rehabilitation.

However, the rehabilitation didn't cover a new liver transplant, and the veteran was bitter at the company. Meltzer also added that the company's policy is for drug rehabilitation and didn't cover the cost of Mo getting a new liver in his final days. Moreover, this wasn't the first time that the company turned down a plea in difficult times.

The situation is ongoing, as no one from Mo's family has come out and addressed the reports or claims of Mo reaching out to the company before his death.
