Windham Rotunda, better known to WWE fans as Bray Wyatt, has died at age 36. WWE chief content officer Paul Levesque shared the devastating news on social media noting that Rotunda’s passing was unexpected.
A three-time champion in WWE, Bray Wyatt re-signed with the promotion last year, returning to significant fanfare at WWE Extreme Rules on Oct. 8, 2022. Bray Wyatt was in the middle of a pro-gramme involving a mysterious and manipulating force called “Uncle Howdy” but was quietly re-moved from WWE programming in late February amid injury rumours.
“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 — unexpect-edly passed earlier today,” wrote Levesque, better known to fans as Hall of Famer superstar Triple H.
“Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.” No further information is available regarding the nature of Rotunda’s death.
