WWE universe reacts to Bray Wyatt’s 2K24 entrance
As soon as the Bray Wyatt entrance from the 2K24 game was released, the WWE universe started reacting to it in huge numbers. Most of the fans loved the way this whole thing was executed and were left nostalgic by the promotion’s way of honoring the iconic persona of The Fiend.
Expressing his love for the wrestler, an audience member wrote, “R.I.P Bray. Miss him everyday.” “Thank you 2K,” another pro wrestling enthusiast wrote while thanking the makers for helping him watch Windham Rotunda again. Such comments by the fans shows how much they loved the Wyatt Family’s leader.
Is Bray Wyatt on the cover of WWE 2K24?
While fans have been giving their love to the 2K24 entrance video of Windham Rotunda, some of them also have a question. As the late pro wrestler was previously rumored to be on the cover of the WWE 2K24 video game, a lot of people have been wondering if he’s there.
In this regard, it must be remembered that Bray Wyatt isn’t on the cover of the upcoming edition of the game. Even though the fans wanted the Triple H-led promotion to honor Wyatt’s legacy by keeping him on the cover, that hasn’t really happened. In fact, The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes, has been given the honor to be the cover superstar.

WWE not giving Bray the spot on the game’s cover made fans unhappy. But it’s important to point out that the promotion has been giving all net proceeds from The Fiend’s merchandise sales to his family. This is something that is surely going to help the late pro wrestler’s wife and kids a lot, and that’s why the Stamford-based promotion must be appreciated for this kind gesture.
