The WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk passed away a few days ago, and the wrestling world has now lost another legend. On August 24, 36-year-old Windham Rotunda, better known by his ring name Bray Wyatt, passed dead. Triple H, a 14-time world champion and chief content officer, broke the news of his passing. As reported by wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp on X, Wyatt passed away from a heart attack.
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 - unexpectedly passed away earlier
today," Levesque wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). "Our
thoughts are with his family, and we ask that everyone respect their right to
privacy at this time."
Mick Foley, a WE commentator, continued, "I thought so
highly of Bray Wyatt." He was a real visionary and one of wrestling's most
alluring figures ever.
Wyatt came from a wrestling family that included his father
Mike Rotunda, his grandpa Blackjack Mulligan, and his younger brother Bo
Dallas.
Due to his persona as a tax collector from Washington, DC
who hassled wrestlers and fans as "tax cheats," Rotunda was a
legendary wrestler in his own right.
Wyatt was a state wrestling champion in high school and
received a football scholarship to Troy University. He was born on May 23,
1987, in Brooksville, Florida.
He did, however, leave his course before finishing to pursue
a career as a professional wrestler, making his debut in 2009
