The WWE recently lost one of its most iconic wrestlers at a very young age. The entire WWE Universe has fallen into a shocking silence following the untimely demise of Windham Rotunda, known as Bray Wyatt.

The former WWE Champion passes away from an illness he had been fighting for months. Following his untimely demise, several pro wrestlers poured in their tributes. The WWE management may soon stir into action, and fans speculate that the WWE will pay tribute to Bray Wyatt on the upcoming SmackDown. The tribute may shift several upcoming matches and events in the coming week as WWE and its fans bid a final goodbye to Bray Wyatt. 

Remembering the late and great Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt brought horror and paranormal elements into the WWE universe, outshining even other wrestlers with similar aspects. While The Undertaker had his dead man theme, Wyatt’s arrival was different: lights out, Wyatt’s Family music in. The way Wyatt surrounded and shouted at his opponents and crawled to them like a deathly spider and attacked everybody who stood in his way.

Following his return to the company in 2022, Bray Wyatt got into a feud with LA Knight and wrestled his last match against him. At the 2023 Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Bray Wyatt emerged victorious against LA Knight in WWE’s inaugural Pitch Black match. The intense hardcore bout concluded swiftly with Wyatt securing the win via his signature move, the Sister Abigail.

It can now be expected that LA Knight might pay some tribute to Wyatt on the upcoming edition of SmackDown. With Knight being the last star to have had a match with Wyatt, it will be fitting if WWE takes that decision.

The WWE universe always embraced Wyatt, who thanked them for their support during tough times. WWE management will arrange a fitting tribute. This could mean a few WWE plans for this week getting postponed as well.

Postponement of much-anticipated SmackDown match

Iyo Sky recently became the WWE Women’s champion by beating Bianca Belair at SummerSlam. She achieved this by cashing in the MITB contract and pinning Belair after she won a grueling match against Charlotte Flair and Asuka. Since then Iyo Sky has been proudly roaming around with the belt but her challenges have not yet ended.

She was scheduled to defend her title against Zelina Vega. While there match was supposed to take place in the SmackDown, there are chances that it’ll now be postponed to next week’s show or possibly WWE’s next PLE Payback on September 2.

WWE management is likely to pay tribute to Bray Wyatt on SmackDown which could mean scripted feuds or planned matches for this week’s show may get postponed. This could also include the highly anticipated match between Zelina Vega and the WWE Women’s champion Iyo Sky.

We saw something similar happen when Eddie Guerrero passed away suddenly in 2005 and the next RAW episode was a tribute show to the Latino legend. WWE could follow the same route on SmackDown as well.
