RIP Bray Wyatt
What the fuck. Gone way too soon. This is depressing.
This brother was special. Rest well!
Just awful. I never watched much WWE when he was around but I’ve watched the funhouse match multiple times. A creative visionary. Such a shocking, bitter loss.
Its crazy to think I’m older than he was totally not fair
The sole reason I never fell back out of love with wrestling (again) before AEW started. We’ve lost a creative powerhouse, and by all accounts a great father and friend. Devastating.
Absolutely. And FWIW, I did fall out of love with wrestling prior to AEW. But anytime I’d see Bray I’d stop and watch what he was doing.
As someone who mostly watches AEW, he was the one guy I wanted them to sign. I’d say that elsewhere and people would tell me “he’s not a good wrestler,” or what have you. But I don’t care. The part of wrestling that appeals to me most is the ‘creative/promo’ side of things and no one was better at that than Bray.
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.
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.

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

Thanks guys. RIP Bray Wyatt.
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. 😭
RIP, and condolences to his family and loved ones.
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.
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. 😭😭😭
SRS is saying the cause of death was a heart attack stemming from post-covid syndrome.
Covid has taken so much from us. 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
