The WWE Hall of Famer was due to appear at ICC Wales, Newport yesterday, but was unable to at short notice.
Revealing the news to fans, Trish posted a heartfelt statement on Instagram.
“Hi everyone, it breaks my heart to share that I won’t be able to attend the autograph signing in Wales this weekend,” she wrote.
“My mom needs me by her side right now, and with the distance involved, the travel is simply too far.
“If anything were to happen, I’d be too far away to get back quickly and that’s not a risk I can take at this time.”
Continuing, the seven-time women’s champion said: “To those who bought tickets – I’m so sorry to disappoint you. I promise I will come back to Wales and we will meet another time!
“I’m truly sorry to disappoint anyone, please know I never take your support for granted, and it means the world to me.
“I’m aware I have several upcoming appearances scheduled on the #Trish25 Tour and as of now, those are still planned.
Fans who had bought tickets were left disappointed she wouldn’t be at the show, but at the same time showed their support for Trish, with one writing: “Gutted, only reason I was coming to this event but family always comes first! Sending her so much love.”
Another added: “Absolutely gutted is an understatement but cant be helped! Hope all is well with @trishstratuscom and hope you meet you next time.”
This fan said: “We’re rooting for you and your Mum, @trishstratuscom. Us UK fans will be ready and waiting for your next visit.”
In response to Trish having to pull out of her appearance, Comic Con posted: “Unfortunately due to personal circumstances, Trish Stratus is no longer able to attend this event.
