WWE put Bray Wyatt on a Legends deal with all of the proceeds going to his children

The passing of Windham Rotunda aka Bray Wyatt, is still hard to believe is real.
The wrestling world lost Wyatt in late August when he suffered a heart attack.
He had been engaged to former WWE ring announcer JoJo Offerman with them expecting to get married in late 2023. They have two children together, while Wyatt has two other children with his previous wife.

While on the Wrasslin Talk podcast, former WWE star Mike Rotunda aka IRS, commented on dealing with the death of his son, noting the passing has been hard on the family and they miss him every day.
Rotunda remembered his son for being a happy person who was always laughing and lighting up the room. He said he was a one-of-a-kind person.

Rotunda praised WWE for putting Wyatt on a Legends contract, something typically done for former stars, where all of the proceeds go to Wyatt’s children.

“I have to give WWE credit. They’ve done awesome helping our family out with a lot of different stuff. They put Windham on a legends contract and all the proceeds go to…Windham has four children. Luckily, we have them.”

Yeah, this is really awesome by WWE. They don't have to do this, but they did it anyway. Does AEW do something similar for Brodie Lee?
Seriously doubt it.
They did. Not sure if still withstanding 3 years later though.


Still strange to know only one OG member of the Wyatt Family is left. Two left if you wanna count Braun.

Classy move by WWE, respect. Bray’s family have that comfort knowing they’ll be taken care of. Honestly very cool of them to do this. The company is improving more and more with how they’re treating their talents and their families. I miss Bray, just really wish this was all a nightmare and we could see him again. Especially with how hot the product is right now.

His merch will always sell. They should re-release Fiend masks for those that missed out. I have the standard deluxe Fiend mask, but I’d definitely pick up the burned version if given the opportunity .

I’m hoping with him being on a Legends contract that WWE 2K24 will have all of Bray’s characters along with the Firefly Fun House and The Wyatt Compound as playable arenas . Bonus if they can get Harper and Rowan in there with their Wyatt Family characters and the Bludgeon Brothers gimmick.
