Since Bray Wyatt’s passing in August 24, 2023, the beloved and brilliant WWE wrestler, whose real name is Windham Rotunda, has been honored in different ways by his colleagues and fans. From tribute matches, fan tattoos, to a release of a t-shirt collection that benefits Bray’s family. There’s even a very heart-breaking documentary, ‘Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal,’ which showcases his rise in the square circle and his plans for his future in the WWE.
The former WWE Champion and Universal Champion, Wyatt is known for his charismatic characters form the cult leader of the Wyatt Family to a personality disorder monster known as The Fiend. His characters dive into a nightmarish world of a deranged cult leader inspired by Charles Manson, wrestler Waylon Mercy and Max Cady from Cape Fear. Which won fans approval throughout the world. He then followed up with a very unstable children TV show host with puppets (Abby the Witch, Ramblin’ Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, and Huscus the Pig) that represent his different feelings in the vignettes of ‘Firefly Fun House‘. But when rubbed the wrong way he would release the unstoppable wrestling horror icon The Fiend. A monster that would come to the ring with a lantern made out of his own human head. Before he passed, Wyatt returned to WWE with another character, Uncle Howdy, played by his real life brother Bo Dallas (Taylor Rotunda). This time around it seemed that Wyatt’s story was diving into more gore and conspiracy. Unfortunately, this story never was concluded… UNTIL NOW.
In the last five minutes of last night’s WWE’s ‘Monday Night Raw’ the lights turned off in the arena in a nostalgic way: a mysterious door opens–symbolizing that we are about to enter once again into Bray Wyatt’s world! As we hear the creepy one note opening from Bray Wyatt’s theme song ‘Shatter’, in a classic homage to The Ring, a real life Abby the Witch comes crawling out of the mysterious doorway. Stopping at a lantern, she then summons Rabbit, Mercy the Buzzard, Huscus the Pig and Uncle Howdy to come through. WWE’s backstage has become the new Firefly Fun House with blood, carnage and bodies everywhere!!! WWE has brought back HORROR to wrestling with the “Wyatt Sicks!”
