Bray Wyatt is widely considered to be one of the greatest imaginations in professional wrestling. During two periods signed with WWE, he portrayed himself as many an iconic character, best exemplified by “The Fiend”, in a career that saw reigns with the WWE World, Universal, and Tag Team titles. He shared the ring with the likes of The Undertaker, Kane, and John Cena as he remained a prominent component of the company throughout his tenure.

Wyatt returned to the company in 2022 at the Extreme Rules event in October, having previously been released following WrestleMania in 2021.

Please join Vendetta in sending condolences to Bray Wyatt’s family. A WWE legend and devout family man gone too soon. May he rest in peace.
