RIP Bray Wyatt
An absolute shame. I’m so sorry to anyone rocked by this announcement.

Thanks guys. RIP Bray Wyatt.
I can’t believe he was only 36. He managed to make characters who felt so big; and will have a permanent impact on wrestling moving forward.
Terry Funk was sad and heartbreaking but not unexpected due to his health issues and age. Bray Wyatt on the other hand is tragic and heartbreaking, he was young and has small children, and this is hard. I hated The Fiend character, but loved Swamp Wyatt, I really hate there won’t be a new character coming, and hope his family weathers this storm well.
This is also how I learned Terry Funk died too. 😭
SRS is saying the cause of death was a heart attack stemming from post-covid syndrome.
Covid has taken so much from us. RIP.
Ugh this is not what I needed to hear today. I didn’t really watch WWE but I did know if the Wyatt Family stuff from social and he was just smashing at what he did.
For goddess sake please be with Erik Rowan right now because I can only imagine what he’s going through losing both of his close partners and friends so soon. 😭😭😭
What the fuck. Gone way too soon. This is depressing.
Bray, Finn, and Becky are the three wrestlers that brought me back to wrestling after being out since the early 00s. Bray specifically felt like the guy that “got it” based on what I liked about wrestling growing up (plus we are the same age). He got the story telling, he wanted to be a supernatural entity, he loved the showmanship of the business and respected it. I am so sad that we will never get Bray, Windham, the top guy. But in my book he is, was, and always will be a top guy.
Wow…this is devastating.
He was 36. He was many, many years away from “too soon”. He wasn’t even close. He should’ve had so many more years of spotlight…
Gone way too soon. I had read reports that he had been cleared and was due to be making a return in the next months. A sad time indeed. RIP
Haven’t watched wrestling in many years. But Bray was always a badass. His entrance was epic, his characters were fantastic and frightening, and his story telling was larger than life. RIP.
Almost half year since he dropped out of Wrestlemania, can’t believe this is how he returned to the news 😔 thanks for the memories
The Wyatt Family is down to 1, absolutely unbelievable
RIP, and condolences to his family and loved ones.
What in the fuck :(
Not the kind of news I wanted to wake up to see, that’s for sure. Way too damned young…
Fucking hell. My condolences to his family, friends, and fans.
Fuck Covid, its effects are still very much being felt.
For me, this was peak Bray Wyatt. I think it didn’t get the praise it deserved due to The Boneyard Match the previous night.
https://youtu.be/yxgMSo4-PDE?si=Cc-rDPQF_6jsRUTLI was 100% prepared to be let down by that match and was so excited to be completely wrong. They both leaned in so hard to the gimmick that what should’ve been incredibly cringey ended up being amazing.
The OG swamp cult Wyatts are now one of the great “what-ifs” of modern wrestling. For as much as Bray tried some interesting angles in his last few years, terrible booking and the lack of a stable to back him up made it fall flat. The original trio had a magic to it that none of the three ever quite recaptured on their own: Bray was the mouthpiece and had great ideas, Brodie grounded it, giving it psychological depth and deranged zeal, and Erick was the muscle who always seemed like he had his own motives for following. It felt real in a way that it never did when it was just Bray alone. The Wyatt Family got me back into wrestling, and it’s extememely sad that circumstances conspired to separate them before they could reach their full potnential together. RIP Bray and Brodie.
