It pains me to write this. I never wanted to do anything like it. I’m so shocked and at a loss of words. Windham Rotunda, one of the very few wrestlers who grabbed my attention in such a way. Someone who encouraged me to keep going no matter what.
This week, we lost two beloved members of the WWE family, Hall of Famer Terry Funk and the one and only Bray Wyatt.
Tonight, we pay tribute to their incredible careers.

WWE is saddened to learn that Windham Rotunda, also known as Bray Wyatt, passed away on Thursday, Aug. 24, at age 36.
WWE extends its condolences to Rotunda’s family, friends and fans.
Thank you for everything. Thank you for entertaining us and giving it your all. You had a different kind of mind for wrestling. You may be gone, but your memories and incredible work will never be. RIP Windham Rotunda. 🪽❤️
You were incredibly under appreciated it and I believe your true potential was never tapped into. You still had so much to offer and so much more stories to tell us. I never listened to anyone bad mouthing you and I never will. I just can’t believe you left us so soon.
He is no longer with us. And I have been crying for the last couple of minutes. This is the worst thing I could have come home to. I’m so shocked. I can’t believe it. I wanna hear people tell me it’s a sick joke—but unfortunately it’s not. Thank you for everything.
