Brodie Lee, real name Jon Huber, and previously known as Luke Harper in WWE, passed away in December 2020.
And sadly the wrestling world lost Bray Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda, just days ago after he suffered a heart attack.
The Friday, August 25 episode of SmackDown featured multiple tributes to Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda, and after the show, several WWE stars got matching tattoos of Wyatt’s logo.
WWE has added the following note to the item descriptions for Wyatt merch on the WWE Shop website:

I was given permission to reveal that earlier this year Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) got COVID that exacerbated a heart issues.
There was a lot of positive progress towards a return and his recovery. Unfortunately today he suffered a heart attack and passed away.
Our thoughts and condolences continue to be with the families, friends, and everyone affected by the passings of Windham Rotunda, Jon Huber, and Jamin Pugh.
The match against the Bucks tonight was won by FTR, retaining the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
