Wyatt returned to WWE last year at Extreme Rules 2022 and only had one televised match, which was at the Royal Rumble earlier this year, where he defeated LA Knight in a Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match.
He was written off television due to an illness in late February. He was scheduled to face Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 39, which got canceled.
Earlier this month, Fightful Select reported that the illness Wyatt was dealing with was both career and life threatening.
In an update from Fightful (they were given permission by the family to release this information), Wyatt caught COVID-19 earlier this year, which exacerbated heart issues for him. There was a lot of positive progress towards a return and his recovery.
Unfortunately, he suffered a heart attack earlier today and passed away.
