We are sad to learn that WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt has passed away. Triple H broke the news on Twitter.
No other details are available at the moment. Wyatt had been out of action since late February with an illness and it was recently reported that he was getting closer to getting cleared with creative coming up with plans for him. Mike Rotunda recently said that Wyatt would be returning to action soon.
During Wyatt’s initial run on the main roster, he portrayed the leader of the cult faction named The Wyatt family with Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman, and the late Luke Harper (aka Brodie Lee). Wyatt was released in 2021 and then returned last October at the Extreme Rules PLE with a different presentation for his character.
Wyatt is survived by his fiancee and former WWE ring announcer Joseann Offerman, their four children, brother Bo Dallas (Taylor Rotunda), and sister Mika. We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family. Triple H’s statement is below.
Triple H tweeted, “Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda – also known as Bray Wyatt – unexpectedly passed earlier today. Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.”
