WWE did a special tribute show on SmackDown where the entire episode was dedicated to Wyatt and Terry Funk who had also passed away. The entire SmackDown roster stood below the Jumbotron and fellow Wyatt family members Braun Strowman and Erick Rowan were also present. Then the traditional WWE 10 Bell Salute ensued, bidding both these phenomenal superstars a final goodbye.

And now, almost a month after his death, close friend and RAW commentator Corey Graves gave his final respect to Wyatt by getting a tattoo of him on his arm. The tattoo is that of Wyatt’s last character he played in the WWE, The Fiend. The tattoo shows Bray Wyatt holding his signature lantern that he always carried to the ring. Braun Strowman also got a tattoo commemorating his close friend some time back.
