“The world lost a good one today”- The Miz pens heartfelt note for Bray Wyatt
During Bray Wyatt’s career, he had several memorable feuds. One of them was against The Miz. It happened in the closing phase of 2019, soon after Wyatt became the new Universal Champion and brought the belt to SmackDown.
Wyatt’s new gimmick was still new to the fans, and he brought a cool avatar of himself to wrestle against The Miz at TLC.
“The world lost a good one today. Bray Wyatt’s story telling ability along with his unique creativity in the ring was a force that kept your eyes glued to the television screen. Windham Rotunda’s fun-loving, free spirit paired with his infectious laugh is what I will truly miss the most. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rotunda family. Rest well my friend,” the Miz wrote on Twitter.

SmackDown will air live from KFC YUM! Center in Louisville. It will be a heart-touching episode for the family and fans of Wyatt.
