A day after Terry Funk passed away, another legacy wrestler left us. Bray Wyatt, born Wyndham Rotunda, died at 36 following a heart attack.
The grandson of Blackjack Mulligan and son of Mike Rotunda, and nephew of Barry and Kendall Windham, Wyatt began wrestling in 2009 in the WWE developmental territories, adopting multiple personas before settling on Bray Wyatt. The character was initially a bayou cult leader, who along with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, would form the Wyatt Family. After getting over in NXT, the trio were called up to the WWE.
The Wyatt family got over and Bray would face and lose to John Cena at Wrestlemania XXX. He continued on and became a three-time World Champion in the WWE, utilizing multiple gimmicks, which included “The Fiend”, a supernatural character that utilized horror elements.
Let go in a cost-cutting measure, Wyatt returned in late 2022, but it was a brief run, that ended abruptly due to hat we now know was due to health reasons.
Wyatt was reported to return in recent weeks but that obviously was not the case. He leaves behind his wife and four children.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, family and friends of Bray Wyatt.
