WWE superstar Bray Wyatt, known for being one of the most creative minds in professional wrestling who pushed the boundaries with innovative characters, died Thursday at the age of 36, WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced on social media.
At the height of his career, Bray Wyatt was married to his now-estranged wife, Samantha, and here’s everything we know about her.
Who was Bray Wyatt?
Bray Wyatt born Windham Lawrence Rotunda on May 23, 1987 was an eminent American professional wrestler who is at present signed on a contract with WWE, appearing on Raw rooster.
He also happens to be one half of the current Raw Tag Team Champions along with Matt Hardy. Born and raised in Florida, USA, Bray’s first love was not wrestling while he was growing up.
He was good at playing football and played it all through his school years. He dropped out of college due to poor academic performance and decided to become a wrestler.
His father and grandfather have been professional wrestlers and he is the third in generation to follow suit. After signing with WWE in 2009, he was drafted to the FCW, one of WWE’s development territories.
He then made his way into the NXT. In 2013, he made his entry into the main WWE rooster and began his professional WWE career, becoming one of the most popular wrestlers while doing that.
He has been a WWE Champion and two times SmackDown Tag Team Champion, once with Randy Orton and second time with Luke Harper. He formed a tag team with Matt Hardy and won the Raw Tag Team Championship in 2017.
On August 24, 2023, Triple H broke the news on X, formally known as Twitter, that the famed wrestler unexpectedly passed away.
Triple H wrote: “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.”
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported per X that Bray died due to a heart attack as a result of a recent battle with COVID-19.
“I was given permission to reveal that earlier this year Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) got COVID that exacerbated a heart issue,” wrote Sean.
“There was a lot of positive progress towards a return and his recovery. Unfortunately today he suffered a heart attack and passed away.”

Bray Wyatt was married Samantha Rotunda (2012). However, in 2017, Samantha filed for divorce.
Who is Bray Wyatt’s ex-wife, Samantha Rotunda?
Samantha Rotunda is a real estate agent from Florida.
She and Bray Wyatt met in college and fell in love. The two eventually tied the knot in 2012.
However, while Bray was married to Samantha, he allegedly stepped out on their marriage with his most recent fiance, Jojo Offerman.
This resulted in Samatha filing for divorce in 2017.
Samantha has since moved on with a landscape laborer named Dan Pixley.
Did they have children?
While married, the two welcomed two daughters, Cadyn and Kendyl Rotunda.
While Samantha and Bray have moved on, the two seem to have worked things out as parents.
In June 2019, Samantha took to Instagram to speak on their parenting arrangements.
She wrote: “I am truly so thankful for both of these men and because of our team effort, that we are working on each and every day, my girls are growing into amazing little women (who will never ever date…ever, if these guys have any say).
“It’s not always easy, but it’s our life, and they are what matters!”
Apart from Bray’s children with Samantha, he shared two children with Jojo.
