Windham Lawrence Rotunda
(May 23, 1987 ? August 24, 2023) was an
American
professional wrestler
. He was known as the leader of a stable with
Luke Harper
and
Erick Rowan
known as
The Wyatt Family
.
Daniel Bryan
was also a member for a short time before turning against the stable.
He first wrestled in WWE from 2009 to 2011 where he competed under the name
Husky Harris
and was a part of the stable,
The Nexus
. He competed on the 2nd season of
WWE NXT
but was eliminated 5th. Rotunda stayed in WWE's developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), and made his debut as Bray Wyatt in FCW in April 2012. He stayed in FCW through its name change to NXT Wrestling (now WWE NXT), and returned to the main WWE roster in July 2013. The Wyatt Family quickly became some of the company's biggest heels ("bad guys").
On August 24, 2023, Rotunda died from a heart attack. He had been out with a private illness since Feburary which was later said to be
COVID-19
.
