As well as this, we also hear from CCO of WWE Paul Levesque, who publicly broke the news of Windham’s death following a call from the Rotunda family.
“It still feels surreal. I still feel like I haven’t seen him for a while, you know. Because he was so larger than life as a person and so big personality wise." he said.
“Everything was so good, and for someone that young it just… it’s just crazy.”

The day after his death, WWE ran a Smackdown show and Levesque is shown speaking to the wrestlers in rehearsals.
He says: “We lost Bray. Life is short. If this doesn’t tell you anything else, it should… 36 years old. Cherish it, cherish each other.”
Levesque, who wrestled under the name Triple H prior to his retirement, also announced the news in 2023 on X, writing: “Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda - also known as Bray Wyatt - unexpectedly passed earlier today.
