Brayy Wyatt dies at the age of 36

Touted as one of the most creative minds of the industry, Bray Wyatt was able to portray three gimmicks in his WWE career. He made his debut in 2009 and soon became a revelation first with the Nexus and then with his faction, The Wyatt Family. After the group disabled, he was re-branded, which elevated his stature as a superstar worldwide. As The Fiend, Bray Wyatt dominated the circuit. He was pushed to the moon, and he eventually captured the WWE title by beating Seth Rollins. Following a feud with Randy Orton, where he was burned live on TV, he went into a hiatus and came back in 2022, initiating the onset of a new side of Bray Wyatt, which had an alter ego Uncle Howdy by his side. The character could not have a long run and following a feud with LA Knight, Wyatt disappeared again, this time forever. As the Eater of the Worlds, he will definitely have "the whole world in his hands" now.
