Former WWE champion Bray Wyatt is dead

Professional wrestler and former World Wrestling Entertainment champion, Bray Wyatt is dead.

Wyatt died on Thursday, the company announced at the age of 31 after battling life-threatning illness.

“Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time,” Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE’s chief content officer, said on social media.

Wyatt became WWE Champion in 2017 and wrestled as multiple characters during his career, including as a member of The Wyatt Family and as a nightmarish masked alter ego called The Fiend.
