The day has begun on a shocking note for the entire pro-wrestling community as the news of Windham Rotunda’s death has shattered everyone. Known by his ring name, Bray Wyatt, the WWE superstar was missing in action for months due to an undisclosed illness and now, unfortunately, that very reason has reportedly taken him away from us.
For the unversed, Wyatt returned to WWE at last year’s Extreme Rules, and it was well-received by fans. Lately, his feud was scheduled with Bobby Lashley, leading to a much-awaited match, but the storyline was abruptly dropped. Even Wyatt remained absent, and no proper reason was given about why his storyline was cancelled. Later, it was learnt that the pro-wrestler was suffering from a life-threatening illness.
To everyone’s shock, a few hours ago, Paul Levesque aka Triple H (WWE’s chief content officer & head of creative), shared the news about Bray Wyatt’s death. The death of a 36-year-old superstar has left everyone stunned, and now, the reason behind his unexpected death has been disclosed.
