Bray Wyatt Obituary: Wiki, Biography Age, Family, Net Worth, Wife,Cause of Death and Kids

Windham Lawrence Rotunda (May 23, 1987 – August 24, 2023) was a professional wrestler from the United States. He was best known for his time in WWE, where he wrestled under the ring name Bray Wyatt from 2010 to 2021, and then again from 2022 until his death in 2023.

Rotunda was a third-generation wrestler, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Blackjack Mulligan, father Mike Rotunda, and two uncles, Barry and Kendall Windham. Taylor Rotunda, better known as Bo Dallas, is his younger brother and also a professional wrestler. He and his brother held the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship twice while wrestling in WWE's then-developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) between 2008 and 2012. 

From 2010 to 2011, he wrestled on WWE's main roster as Husky Harris, most notably as a member of The Nexus.

Rotunda was repackaged as Bray Wyatt after returning to WWE's developmental territory, which had been rebranded as NXT. In 2013, he returned to the main roster as the villainous leader of The Wyatt Family, a bayou-dwelling cult, alongside Wyatt Family members Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. He went on to become a three-time WWE world champion, winning the WWE Championship once and the Universal Championship twice. He also held the SmackDown Tag Team Championship (under the Freebird Rule with Luke Harper and Randy Orton) and the Raw Tag Team Championship (with Matt Hardy) once each.

Wyatt returned with a new gimmick after a hiatus from August 2018 to April 2019. He was portrayed as having transformative multiple personality disorder, as he alternated between two characters: his "good side" of Bray Wyatt, a Mr. Rogers-esque children's TV host, and his "bad side" of The Fiend, a grotesque horror-themed monster clown. He left WWE in July 2021, but returned in October 2022 with a new character who claimed to be his "real-life" self but gradually re-incorporated his multiple personalities as well as some new ones. His second return would be cut short, as he died unexpectedly of a heart attack in August 2023, after taking time off beginning in February 2023 due to contracting COVID-19. 
 

He only had one televised match during his second return, which was at the 2023 Royal Rumble.
