In the main event segment of last night’s SmackDown, Seth Rollins paid tribute to his late friend, Bray Wyatt.
Rollins wore the same shoes that Wyatt wore at RAW XXX in 2023, where Bray had an in-ring segment with The Undertaker and LA Knight.
Wyatt passed away on August 24, 2023, at the age of 36. 4 days later, on the August 28, 2023 episode of RAW, Rollins paid tribute to Wyatt by adding The Fiend’s face to the side plate on his World Heavyweight Championship.
At the time of Wyatt’s death, Rollins issued the following emotional statement:
“Truth is, I don’t really… I still don’t really know what to say.
Windham was a… unique cat. He was a simple yet deeply complex individual, and I loved him. I loved him. I loved working with him, but mostly I just loved being around him.
He was always joyful. Just, these eyes that drew you in and a smile and a laugh and a presence that just made you happy. And… we’re all gonna miss that. I’ve been thinking mostly about his family. His kids.
And I wanted to, I don’t know if wanted was the right word, I thought about going to SmackDown tonight, but that would entail leaving my family a day early, and I just keep going back to the conversation I had with Windham on the phone when Brodie (Lee) passed a few years ago.
And I just had called him to check on him, see how he was doing, and he… we talked and he was okay and I was okay and neither of us were really okay, but I just remember, we ended the conversation with ‘I love yous’ and ‘goodbyes’, and he said, I remember this very specifically, he said, ‘You just go hug on that baby girl’, talking about my daughter.
So I just feel like that’s what I should be doing.
So, Windham, I love you man. I will miss you, we will all miss you. And I’ll see you down the road, hot boy.”
