Who was Bray Wyatt?
Windham Lawrence Rotunda, widely known as Bray Wyatt, was born on May 23, 1987, in Brooksville, Florida.
Bray was the son of WWE Hall of Famer, Mike Rotunda, and the grandson of the professional wrestler and football player, Blackjack Mulligan.
In 2009, Bray debuted at the Florida Championship Wrestling beating Brian Jossie.
Throughout his career, Bray competed in various WWE events including Smackdown! and SummerSlam.
In 2014, Bray went against legendary wrestler, John Cena in what was named the match of the year.
In 2019, Bray took home the Male Wrestler of the Year award at the WWE Year-End Awards.
On August 24, 2023, Triple H broke the news on X, formally known as Twitter, that the famed wrestler unexpectedly passed away.
Triple H wrote: “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 earlier today.
“Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.”
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported per X that Bray died due to a heart attack as a result of a recent battle with COVID-19.
“I was given permission to reveal that earlier this year Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) got COVID that exacerbated a heart issue,” wrote Sean.
“There was a lot of positive progress towards a return and his recovery. Unfortunately today he suffered a heart attack and passed away.”
However, Bray’s cause of death has not yet been confirmed by family or authorities.
Who is Bray Wyatt’s estranged wife, Samantha Rotunda?
Samantha Rotunda is a real estate agent from Florida.
She and Bray Wyatt met in college and fell in love. The two eventually tied the knot in 2012.
However, while Bray was married to Samantha, he allegedly stepped out on their marriage with his most recent fiance, Jojo Offerman.
This resulted in Samatha filing for divorce in 2017.
Samantha has since moved on with a landscape laborer named Dan Pixley.

While married, the two welcomed two daughters, Cadyn and Kendyl Rotunda.
While Samantha and Bray have moved on, the two seem to have worked things out as parents.
In June 2019, Samantha took to Instagram to speak on their parenting arrangements.
She wrote: “I am truly so thankful for both of these men and because of our team effort, that we are working on each and every day, my girls are growing into amazing little women (who will never ever date…ever, if these guys have any say).
“It’s not always easy, but it’s our life, and they are what matters!”
Apart from Bray’s children with Samantha, he shared two children with Jojo.
