Windham Lawrence Rotunda is an American professional wrestler who is currently signed to the WWE. Bray Wyatt, which is his ring name, is seen on the SmackDown brand of the wrestling promotion. He is a one-time WWE Champion, one-time WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion and a one-time Raw Tag Team Champion with Matt Hardy. He used to be the leader of the tag team stable, Wyatt Family, with whom he won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.
Currently, 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt is the WWE Universal Champion after defeating Seth Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere match at Crown Jewel.
Bray Wyatt is a third generation wrestler. His grandfather was WWE Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan, while his father was Mike Rotunda. His uncles Barry Windham and Kendall Windham are also well known professional wrestlers, with the former also being a WWE Hall of Famer. His brother also performs for WWE under the ring name Bo Dallas.
Rotunda began his professional wrestling career with Florida Championship Wrestling in April 2009. He often teamed up with brother Bo, and the duo together won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship. Soon enough his true destination came calling, that was the WWE. Bray Wyatt was signed by the WWE, and he joined the second season of their developmental territory NXT under the ring name Husky Harris with Cody Rhodes as his pro. However, a year later he shifted back to FCW and then again back to NXT after the discontinuation of FCW as a developmental territory.
Rotunda then took over his current ring name of Bray Wyatt, and began appearing as the central figure of the cult-like Wyatt Family. They won the NXT Tag Team Championship and soon enough found themselves on the main roster. They went on to win the Smackdown Tag Team Championship but faced internal disputes within the stable. Wyatt won the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber 2017, but lost his title to Randy Orton, his stable mate, laying the last nail on the coffin of The Wyatt Family.
Wyatt made a comeback to WWE in 2019 with a segment called the Firefly Fun House. The segment mimics a children's show, but is rather very sinister with its ominous and twisted imageries such as a buzzard puppet, a witch doll and various other toys.
Wyatt married his high school sweetheart Samantha and had two children together. Samantha filed for divorce after she found out off an affair on the part of Bray Wyatt. Jojo Offerman, the WWE ring announcer was the person with whom Rotunda had an affair. After the split from wife, Bray Wyatt, Jojo made their relationship public in September 2018. The couple have had a child together in May 2019.
