Devastated by the news of the passing of Windham Rotunda. My heart goes out to the entire Rotunda family. Windham brought the best out of me in so many ways. I’m forever grateful for the moments we shared. A sad day for all those he reached around the world. RIP.

Seeing the outpouring of love for 36 y/o Bray Wyatt is a testament that WHO you are is so much more important than what you accomplish. Every interaction is a chance to shine light on people & he did just that. Such a special human. 🙏🏽

Tragic news. Windham was an exceptional talent in the ring. His creation, Bray Wyatt, is an iconic character. Backstage, Windham was a lot of fun to be around, one of those people who never had a bad day. What a loss, both professionally and personally. https://t.co/zSwG6OWiQI

When we look back at the career of Bray Wyatt; I'd hope performers embrace taking more risks creatively. Go right when everyone else went left.
Will it always work? No. But with skill and soul, when it does, will it make you unforgettable?

I can’t quite believe the news about Bray Wyatt. What do you even say.
The man was one-of-a-kind creative mastermind who approached wrestling in such a cool way. Genuinely shellshocked.
Thoughts with his friends and family as always.
We all need to be kinder to each other.

My heart breaks for Windham and his family. You were always so nice to us, Windham. Ever since we were kids, going trick or treating together, following our dad’s footsteps. You were always relatable, kind and humble. We will always be so grateful for your presence in our lives. https://t.co/SCrCDT7xbd

You will be very missed my friend. You always brought the locker room many many laughs. I’m grateful for so many special moments we shared at my ring this past year. I can’t believe this. The world only saw a glimpse of your creativity. This loss is immeasurable.— TJ Wilson (@TJWilson) August 24, 2023

In FCW Windham gave me a list of movies & documentaries to watch & pitch from. He wanted me to be in the family. I think he believed in me more than I did in myself at that time. I learned so much from him creatively but he was just a good good human. ❤️💔 So smart.This is so sad

The world witnessed a man with bountiful creative brilliance. I saw a kind man who always had time to spread the gift of laughter.
I’ll miss calling you “Husky Rusky” and I’ll miss hearing the greeting of “Sax the Max.” Our industry was better because we had you in it #BrayWyatt pic.twitter.com/0DmjsI3BEY— Byron Saxton (@ByronSaxton) August 25, 2023
The toughest part of this industry… is when you bond with people…. and then that bond is severed unexpectedly. RIP brudda.
I was rooting for you just like you did for me. I already missed you… but this… it's painful. Safe journey my man.

Life ain’t always beautiful.
Words feel useless.
I’ll never forget your laugh.
I’m jealous you get to be with Brodie.
Rest In Peace Windham.
Everyone, Love your loved ones.
