WWE Superstar Bray Wyatt passed away earlier today, as announced by WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H.

The Former Universal Champion, Bray Wyatt returned to WWE after a long wait in late 2022 at the Extreme Rules premium live event. His return made the whole WWE Universe go crazy. He returned with a whole new gimmick and played mind games here and there. He had a long interactive session and finally had his first match at Royal Rumble.

He fought LA Knight in a Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match and won, which was his last match. Wyatt then challenged Bobby Lashley for a match at WrestleMania 39, but unfortunately dropped. It was later reported that Wyatt was dealing with life threatening real-life illness and was pulled away from television.

After six months of battling the illness on August 19, it was reported that Wyatt is almost cleared and is expected to return sooner. While the entire wrestling fans were anticipating his return, a shocking announcement from the WWE Creative Head made the whole world sad.

Bray Wyatt is No More

Earlier today, Triple H on X (Twitter) announced that he received a call from Wyatt’s father, who informed him about Bray Wyatt’s demise.
