One of the all-time greats. Will never be forgotten. Unfortunately, he was taken way too early. He gave his heart and soul to the profession that he loved. May he rest in peace and his legacy continue forever.

Windham was an amazing guy I am sure, I never met him personally but I watched him all the time on TV I have a few amazing memories of him on TV.
Him winning his first world title at the Elimination Chamber PPV in 2017, and when he returned with the firefly fun house gimmick and then introducing us all to "The Fiend" in 2019, and also when he made his last return in 2022 as the "True Bray Wyatt" at Extreme Rules 2022.
He left us a great character "Uncle Howdy" who is played by his brother Bo Dallas/Taylor Rotunda he is doing an amazing job carrying on his brothers legacy which is what Wyatt wanted

Bray was such a talented and most amazing performer I have ever seen in life, I will always remember seeing him on television for the first time when he began the Wyatt Family storyline. I especially will never forget his rivalry storylines with John Cena and especially Randy Orton and many more! I also had the pleasure of meeting Bray Wyatt´s father Mike Rounta at a Comic-Con convention last month in September and I got my autograph from him too. Before I left his table, I told him I am very sorry for his loss and I am wishing him and his family well. Again Mike Rotunda, if your reading this, I am deeply sorry for your loss of your son a Bray Wyatt, my heart goes out to you and you family, I really hope you guys are doing ok now. RIP Bray Wyatt my friend, we WWE fans will never forget you, you will forever be in our hearts, you are now in a better place and your reunited again with your longtime Wyatt Family partner Brodie Lee (aka) Luke Harper. Rest in Peace Bray Wyatt, we will forever miss you.

First time I saw Windham was as Husky Harris. Who knew he'd be the best character Bray Wyatt & the Fiend. He was one of the best & he will be missed so very much. God bless him. We miss you Windham/Bray. God bless his children & rest of his family. My heart still aches, it's so hard to believe he's gone.

When i heard the news about Windham's passing i was in disbelief. I didn't believe, i didnt want to believe it, i didnt want to except it. The fact that he is no longer here it just leaves me at a loss for words. He was one of the most creative minds in the WWE. when he has the mic you couldn't help but listen to what he had to say. Hearing the kind of person he was outside the ring is very believable because you could look at him and tell that he was very nice, helpful and just a joy to be around. To this day the Fiend Bray Wyatt character was and always will be my favorite. I'm going to miss seeing him in the ring, that's creative mind, the talent. I was very blessed, fortunate to see him at a live show and i will always remember that. To Windham father, his wife, his little children, i pray for them that god gives them the strength to get through this difficult time. i feel for them and i hope that they continue to get the love and support that they need. Rest in Peace Windham Rotunda aka Bray Wyatt. Gone Too Soon but will never be forgotten.

I remember watching the wyatt family back in the day and really didn't get into it thank much maybe because I was a stone cold SA fan but as years went on I kept watching and I still watch today but I got to say that when"THE FIEND" debuted I actually came out of my chair and was glued to the TV and after he was let go by wwe I was very disappointed then BOOM he reappeared with his brother I was hopeful for another run with the fiend as he said he would not be returning his character but still he was on to something big unfortunately we can only wonder what the next chapter was...William is definitely missed around the world and will always I honestly can say THE FIEND is/was will always be my favorite wrestler MEMORIES LAST FOREVER YOUR THE EVERKNOWN
LET HIM IN!!!
