The wrestling organization "WWE" announced the death of wrestler Bray Wyatt, known as "The Fiend," at the age of 36, shocking wrestling fans and Bray Wyatt's followers. Bray Wyatt, whose real name was Windham Rotunda, was suffering from a serious illness in his final days and had been receiving treatment in an attempt to return to the ring in the near future, if eligible. Bray Wyatt is the second member of the Wyatt family to pass away, following wrestler Brodie Lee (Luke Harper), who died in 2020 while he was a member of "WWE."
Bray Wyatt was renowned for his terrifying personas in wrestling, including "The Fiend." He was an American wrestler and the leader of the Wyatt Family, which included Luke Harper and Eric Rowan, but he became solo after the group's disbandment. He won the Universal Championship and held onto it until losing it to Roman Reigns, and also won the "WWE" Championship in an Elimination Chamber match after pinning former champion AJ Styles.
Bray Wyatt had rivalries with major wrestling champions. In 2013, he faced Kane at SummerSlam, winning after interference from Luke Harper and Eric Rowan. He also had a feud with Daniel Bryan at the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014, facing Bryan and the Wyatt Family in a three-on-one match, which they lost. In the Royal Rumble with a match between John Cena and Randy Orton, the Wyatt Family interfered, allowing Randy to win. This led to a match with John Cena at WrestleMania 30, which Cena won. Additionally, Bray Wyatt had feuds with Chris Jericho and The Undertaker, facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31, where The Undertaker emerged victorious.
