Exactly one year ago today, the world lost one of its most creative and vibrant beings in Windham Rotunda, better known to the wrestling industry as Bray Wyatt. Wyatt left an unforgettable mark on the WWE Universe in a career that spanned just over a decade. A former three-time World Champion, an accurate measure of success came from his unmatched storytelling abilities.
Today’s date brings up strong emotions for fans, colleagues, and loved ones. While we mourn, it’s also a chance to celebrate Wyatt for his contributions to professional wrestling and remember him as the friend, husband, brother, and father he was. Wyatt’s widow, Jojo Offerman, perfectly summed up this sentiment in a lengthy, heartfelt tribute to her late husband on Instagram.

“…Today is a reminder of the worst day of my life, but also a reminder to never take anything for granted. Today, like everyday, I remember you Windham, and all that you were. We miss you and we love you and life will never be the same without you…I love you, forever.
The Wrestling World Remembers Bray Wyatt
An innovator of the highest caliber, Wyatt created one of the most enthralling and authentic supernatural characters in wrestling history, with his only comparables being names like The Undertaker.
From the original Wyatt Family to The Fiend to his final run alongside Uncle Howdy, WWE fans had the privilege to watch a modern-day genus create immersive and layered stories inside and outside the ring.
Wyatt’s vision and passion were masterfully painted into this world like a rich tapestry, like an artist with an isle. As the man said, he strived to be “The color red in a world of black and white.”
Many others have shared their thoughts about Bray Wyatt on the anniversary of his passing. This includes former WWE superstars Matt Hardy and Top Dolla, as well as current RAW General Manager Adam Pearce:
On behalf of all of us here at SEScoops, we send our deepest and most sincere thoughts and prayers to all remembering Bray Wyatt today.
