WWE wrestler Bray Wyatt, who was only 36 years old, tragically passed away on August 24, 2023, according to reports.
Here is all the information we know about the professional wrestler’s former wife Samantha, who he was married to at the height of his career.
Bray Wyatt: Who was he?
Bray Wyatt, also known as Windham Lawrence Rotunda, was born in Brooksville, Florida, on May 23, 1987.
Bray was the grandson of professional wrestler and football player Blackjack Mulligan and the son of WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda.
Bray made his Florida Championship Wrestling debut in 2009 by defeating Brian Jossie.
Bray participated in a number of WWE events over the course of his career, including Smackdown and SummerSlam.
In what was dubbed the match of the year in 2014, Bray faced off against the legendary wrestler John Cena.
At the WWE Year-End Awards in 2019, Bray won the Male Wrestler of the Year honor.
On August 24, 2023, Triple H announced the untimely death of the renowned wrestler on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Just got a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who broke the heartbreaking news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda, also known as Bray Wyatt, passed away unexpectedly earlier today,” wrote Triple H.
“Our thoughts are with his family, and we ask that everyone respect their right to privacy at this time.”
According to X, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported that Bray passed away following a recent battle with COVID-19 due to a heart attack.
Sean wrote, “I was given permission to disclose that Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) received COVID earlier this year, which aggravated a heart condition.
“There was a lot of good progress being made toward his recovery and return. He unfortunately passed away today after having a heart attack.
Bray’s cause of death hasn’t been officially determined by his family or the police, though.
Who is Samantha Rotunda, the former spouse of Bray Wyatt?
From Florida, Samantha Rotunda works in real estate. She met Bray Wyatt in college, where they later fell in love. They eventually got married in 2012.
Bray allegedly broke off his marriage to Samantha while they were still together by getting involved with his most recent fiancée, Jojo Offerman.
As a result, Samatha divorced her husband in 2017. Since then, Samantha has been dating Dan Pixley, a landscape worker.
Had they offspring?
The couple had daughters, Cadyn and Kendyl Rotunda, while they were still married. The two appear to have resolved their differences as parents even though Samantha and Bray have moved on.
Samantha discussed their parenting practices on Instagram in June 2019.
“I am truly so thankful for both of these men and because of our team effort, which we work on every single day, my girls are developing into amazing little women (who will never date…ever, if these guys have their way),” she wrote.
