WWE superstar Bray Wyatt was a legendary performer who began an iconic career as horror movie-inspired character Wyatt in the world of wrestling. This included wearing a number of masks designed by special effects legend Tom Savini. Sadly, it’s now been confirmed that World Wrestling Entertainment’s Bray Wyatt, otherwise named Windham Rotunda, has died at age 36.

As mentioned, Wyatt was known for his use of eerie masks from Tom Savini which allowed him to appear as various fiendish characters. This led to his literal reintroduction as “The Fiend” in 2019, which was an alter ego created by Wyatt to appear even more horrifying and exciting. It was this level of dedication which kept fans intrigued by his performances and hyped up to see what he had next to offer fans and viewers. In fact, he was often considered a successor to WWE’s Undertaker.
