Cause of Bray Wyatt’s death
According to TMZ, the 36-year-old WWE Superstar reportedly passed away from “a heart attack, according to wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp, who says he spoke to the Rotunda family after the fatal medical emergency, which occurred earlier today”.
Which year did Bray Wyatt join WWE?
Under the ring name Husky Harris, Wyatt joined the WWE main roster in 2010 before departing a year later.
As the head of The Wyatt Family, a cult-like organization with dark ideologies that also included the late Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, he returned to the main roster in 2013.
The faction gained popularity among the audience thanks to one of WWE’s best entrances at the time, which involved fans shining flashlights into the darkened arenas to give them a backwoods feel. Braun Strowman was later added to the group.
Later, after the Wyatt Family split up, Wyatt debuted the Firefly Fun House, a children’s-style program in which he played a cheerful, entertaining character with a few sinister moments thrown in.
