‘Such a creative mind, gone too soon’ – WWE fraternity mourns death of Windham Rothunda aka Bray Wyatt

Former WWE wrestler Bray Wyatt left the world too soon as he died at the age of 36. He was reported to have been dealing with a serious and life-threatening illness. His real name was Windham Rotunda and Bray Wyatt was his stage name. From 2009 to 2021, he was signed with the WWE company and had an illustrious career from 2014.

Notably, he comes from a rich family history of wrestling. Rotunda was a third-generation athlete of the family with a rich wrestling background. His grandfather Robert Windham wrestled as ‘Blackjack Mulligan’ in the 1980s while his Hall of Fame father Mike was a prominent figure in the 1990s as Irwin R Schyster.

Even his uncles, Barry and Kendall Windham were all wrestlers. His brother Taylor Michael Rotunda, aka Bo Dallas, was too with the WWE from 2008 to 2021.

Bray White’s last two years were difficult for him

In 2021, his contract with the company ended and it wasn’t renewed. A year later, he made his comeback and was received by the fans very well.

He had a couple of matches as the angle saw him being haunted by the mysterious ‘Uncle Howdy’. The storyline, however, ended abruptly when Rotunda disappeared, leading to a match between himself and Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 39 getting scrapped. Reports of him being diagnosed with a serious illness also started to do the rounds around the same time. He was inactive for the past six months before the tragic news emerged.

Rotunda is survived by his wife and former WWE ring announcer Jojo Offerman, whom he has two kids with. He also has 2 children from his previous marriage to Samantha Rotunda from 2012 to 2017.

Rotunda’s beginning as The Wyatt family immediately got him over with the fans. The gimmick was believed to be the ‘next Undertaker’ as his dark and twisted persona was a breath of fresh air. The lights would go off and he would enter the arena holding a lantern and accompanied by eerie music.

Paul Heyman, the former manager of Brock Lesnar, had once claimed Hardik Pandya to be a ‘Brock Lesnar wannabe’. During the ODI WC 2019, Ranveer Singh posted an image of Hardik Pandya and wrote “Eat, sleep, conquer, repeat,” after Hardik performed well in the game against Pakistan. On behalf of Lesnar, Heyman addressed the statement of Ranveer.

In one of the episodes of WWE, Heyman claimed that Hardik was not man enough to face Lesnar in the ring. “Let’s be real about this. Cricket is a very popular sport but it’s barely a man’s sport, it is an activity. Brock Lesnar is the former National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) champion. So, I don’t see Hardik Pandya being man enough to step into the ring with him,” said Heyman.
