WWE superstar Bray Wyatt, also known as Windham Rotunda, sadly passed away at the age of 36 after suffering a heart attack. The news was shared by WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H, who received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda, Bray Wyatt’s father, delivering the tragic news. Our deepest condolences go out to Wyatt’s family during this incredibly difficult time, and we kindly ask for privacy for them.
Bray Wyatt, a three-time WWE world champion, hadn’t competed since his victory over LA Knight in a Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match at the Royal Rumble in January. There were reports of his imminent return after being cleared to wrestle again. However, WWE was taking precautions to ensure his long-term health and stability following a severe illness that posed both career and life-threatening risks.
Despite the setbacks, there was positive progress in Wyatt’s recovery, and creative plans were being made for his return to the WWE. September had been considered a potential timeframe, although nothing was confirmed at the time. Unfortunately, today Bray Wyatt suffered a heart attack and passed away.
Before his absence to focus on his health, Wyatt was involved in a stable called the ‘Wyatt Family,’ which included Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan, and the late Luke Harper (also known as Brodie Lee during his time in All Elite Wrestling). Wyatt’s character, ‘the fiend,’ had undergone a transformation, and there were plans to introduce the mysterious ‘Uncle Howdy’ (rumored to be his real-life brother), along with other wrestlers like Bo Dallas, Alexa Bliss, and Eric Young.
Bray Wyatt leaves behind his ex-wife Samantha Rotunda, their two daughters, and his fiancé WWE ring announcer JoJo, and their two children. The wrestling community quickly shared their heartfelt tributes on social media upon learning of Wyatt’s passing.
Matt Hardy, a tag team legend who shared the ring with Wyatt, expressed his devastation on Twitter, sending condolences to Wyatt’s family. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, another wrestling icon turned Hollywood star, also tweeted about Wyatt’s passing, highlighting his respect for Wyatt’s talents and connection with the WWE universe. Johnson also mentioned the recent loss of wrestling legend Terry Funk, offering his support to both families.
Bray Wyatt gained popularity in WWE with his ‘Eater of Worlds’ persona and leading the ‘Wyatt Family’ stable. It’s important to note that Luke Harper, also a member of the stable, tragically passed away in December 2020. His wife, Amanda Huber, expressed her devastation on social media.
This unfortunate loss comes shortly after the wrestling world mourned the passing of WWE hall of famer Terry Funk at the age of 79. The wrestling community is shaken by these back-to-back losses.
