Bray Wyatt leaving this world at just 36 years of age was one of the most unexpected news for the WWE universe in recent years. Not just the fans, but Bray’s fellow performers have also been left devastated after his passing, as they have been paying their tributes to the former Universal Champion.
As Triple H announced Wyatt’s death on August 24, legends like The Rock paid condolences to the late superstar. The Stamford-based promotion showed their respect for The Fiend on last week’s SmackDown, and the August 28 episode of WWE RAW also saw a lot of tributes to the former leader of The Wyatt Family.
As this week’s RAW went off air, former Women’s Champion Becky Lynch also paid an emotional tribute to The Eater of Worlds. While doing so, she shared a beautiful story about Bray Wyatt with the crowd and left the WWE universe really emotional through her words.

Becky said, “He (Bray Wyatt) brought me up to the railway station, showed me everything I needed to do, understood a lot of the language, and then, at the bakery, at TLC, even though he had a lot to do, he spent the whole afternoon helping me, showing me that he’s the kind of person that I want to be.”
This happened after Becky defeated Zoey Stark in a Falls Count Anywhere match during the main event of the show. After this win, she paid her tribute to Wyatt, and at the end of her emotional tribute, Lynch thanked the audience of Monday Night RAW. Her lovely words for Bray showed how close she was to the former champion and how deeply she’s been affected by Wyatt’s sudden death.
Becky Lynch’s husband also paid tribute to Bray Wyatt
This week’s RAW not only witnessed Lynch paying an emotional tribute to The Fiend, as Becky Lynch’s husband, Seth Rollins, also paid a tribute to Bray Wyatt. The World Heavyweight Champion expressed his love for the superstar when he showed up to call out his Payback opponent Shinsuke Nakamura.
As The Visionary made his way to the ring, his tribute to The Fiend was caught on the cameras. Seth paid a lovely tribute to his real-life friend and in-ring rival, Windham Rotunda, by displaying a new side plate on his title. His brand new side plate honored The Fiend’s character, as it had the creative character’s mask on it. (Via- Wrestling Inc)
In addition to the latest addition to his title’s side plates, Rollins was also seen wearing a band that had Windham’s name on it. Becky’s husband even referred to Bray’s catchphrase from the Firefly Funhouse character by saying, “Yowie Wowie!”
Looking at the way both Becky and Seth paid their tributes to The Eater of Worlds on the latest episode of WWE RAW, it’s obvious that the late performer was very close to them. Wyatt may have left this world too early, but his legacy as a pro wrestler will remain alive forever.
