Windham Rotunda, also known as Bray Wyatt, was one of the most creative superstars that the WWE has ever seen. From his staggering character work as a cult leader to the portrayal of the scary ‘Fiend’, he had all the tools to become a major player in the years to come. However, his untimely demise has shaken the wrestling world, and many athletes from other sporting worlds have extended their condolences, including Danis.
