Former Wyatt Family member reacts to WWE’s Bray Wyatt tribute

Bray Wyatt’s death left a lot of fans devastated, and a lot of WWE superstars paid their tribute to the superstar following his demise. Rotunda’s Wyatt Family was once a terror that feuded with a lot of WWE legends during its time. The family leader was Bray Wyatt, with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan as its members. The faction clashed against superstars like John Cena, the longest undefeated wrestler The Undertaker, Kane, Randy Orton, and Daniel Bryan. The group had a ‘love to hate’ type of relationship with the WWE universe; fans hated them for their evil deeds but also loved their action that spiced things up.

Recently, former Wyatt Family member Erick Rowan responded to a post on Twitter that was posted by WWE as a tribute to the late superstar. Rowan, also known as Joseph Ruud, gave his tribute following the post from WWE.

Although the caption was only a single emoji sign, it was undeniable that Joseph truly loved Bray. In early September 2023 Ruud posted on social media his inner feelings following the death of Brodie Lee (Luke Harper) and Bray Wyatt. He added, “In the process something happened, this family we portrayed weekly in the wrestling world became a real life bond. We spent more time together over the next few years than we would our own families. Strengthening our bond as we dealt with life trials and tribulations together”.

“I want to pick up the phone and talk to my brothers. For when I think of Windham It makes me think of Jon then the reality of the crazy truth that they are no longer with us. I love you both so much. This is only Goodbye for Now, I will see you down the road”.

The superstar addressed the fans, “On the 26th of December, a few years back, my good friend, our good friend Brodie Lee passed away. I miss him [fans chant Brodie]. And just a few months ago we lost Windham Rotunda as well. But earlier tonight when the lights were down, that’s right, I saw some fireflies out there in the Garden”.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah man. So look, here’s the deal. They’re kicking me out of here. We’ve got a curfew but I’m not leaving this building until you guys light this place up with those fireflies and you sing my damn song so loud Brodie and Windham can hear you! Let’s go New York! [fans sing Rollins’ theme song] I love you forever, get home safe”.

Bray Wyatt was a great man and his presence is still missed by the people who knew him. Fans continue to spread the love and magic of Rotunda in order to honour his legacy that he left behind before he moved on to the next world.
