On August 24, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, conveyed the news of Wyatt’s untimely demise, which he received from Wyatt’s father, Mike Rotunda.

Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’ and Others Pay Heartfelt Tribute to Tragic Passing of Bray Wyatt at Age 36
Triple H on X (previously Twitter) wrote, “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.” After this news emerged on the internet the whole wrestling realm was in shock with this disheartening news.
Just like Dwayne Johnson, Rotunda, who was famously known as Wyatt, hailed from a wrestling dynasty as a third-generation wrestler. His dad was Mike Rotunda, and his grandpa was Blackjack Mulligan. Sadly, with his passing, fellow wrestlers and other legends of the wrestling world have taken to the internet to express their tributes.
It’s evident that the late Superstar formed strong connections with all those he encountered, from Ric Flair to The Rock, as everyone’s response to the news shows deep sorrow. Rotunda’s most recent appearance in the ring was at January’s Royal Rumble event. However, his return to the company came just four months prior, following an unexpected release. Unfortunately, this stint was brief, with no performances after January due to health problems.
Every time he stepped into the ring, he brought a captivating essence that was truly unique. And the unforgettable entrance with the lantern, which always gave WWE fans goosebumps, remains indelible. His distinct influence has made an irreplaceable impression on the wrestling realm, and finding another Bray Wyatt, a once-in-a-decade superstar, is a challenge for WWE.
