BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA: WWE fans received a devastating blow with the news of the passing of WWE superstar Bray Wyatt at the age of 36, reportedly due to a heart attack. Bray Wyatt leaves behind his ex-wife, Samantha Rotunda, and his two children.

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple made the announcement after receiving the tragic news from Wyatt’s father, WWE Legend Mike Rotunda.

“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,” Triple H wrote, as per Daily Mail.

What happened to Bray Wyatt and his ex-wife?

Bray Wyatt’s ex-wife is Samantha Rotunda, a real estate agent based in Florida. She and Bray Wyatt initially met during their college years and their relationship evolved, culminating in their marriage in 2012.

However, during his marriage to Samantha, Bray Wyatt reportedly engaged in a relationship with his later fiancée, Jojo Offerman. This alleged infidelity led to Samantha filing for divorce in 2017.

Subsequently, Samantha entered into a new relationship with Dan Pixley, who works as a landscape laborer.

Did Bray Wyatt have children? 

During their marriage, Samantha and Bray Wyatt became parents to two daughters, named Cadyn and Kendyl Rotunda.

While their romantic relationship faced challenges, the two have seemingly managed to maintain an amicable co-parenting arrangement for the well-being of their children.

In June 2019, Samantha addressed their parenting dynamic on her Instagram, hinting at their efforts to collaborate as parents despite the challenges they faced in their personal relationship.

What was Bray Wyatt’s health condition? 

The WWE superstar had been absent from WWE programming since his removal from WrestleMania 39 plans earlier in the year.

Wresting Headlines' reports indicated that Wyatt was dealing with a physical issue, prompting both him and the company to exercise caution before his return. 

In the summer, rumors circulated that he was on the verge of making a comeback, following earlier reports that he had been grappling with a severe illness. 

Although Wyatt's illness was described as potentially career-threatening and life-threatening, he was reported to have made substantial progress in his recovery.

Throughout this period, both Wyatt and WWE officials reportedly collaborated closely to prioritize his long-term well-being. Precautions were taken to ensure that any potential return would not jeopardize his health. 

Creative concepts were also floated for his comeback, with some suggestions aligning for a potential September return.

However, these plans were contingent on Wyatt receiving medical clearance from doctors, underscoring the priority of his overall health and well-being.
