Bray Wyatt Tribute During Entrance At AEW All In London Wembley Stadium

Bray Wyatt Tribute During Entrance At AEW All In London Wembley Stadium WWE/AEW

There was a tribute to Bray Wyatt during one particular entrance at AEW All In at London’s Wembley Stadium today.

Bray Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda, passed away aged 36 on Thursday, August 24, just three days ago.

Before their defence of the AEW World Trios Championship tonight, the House of Black paid homage to Wyatt.

The group, consisting of Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews and Julia Hart, placed a lantern on the stage in Wyatt’s memory.

The lights also remained out for the duration of the entrance, allowing fans to hold up their “fireflies” in the crowd.

The fireflies and Bray Wyatt were also mentioned on commentary.

Earlier in the day, Renee Paquette had paid tribute at the very start of the pre-show, saying:

“To quote Windham Rotunda – Wrestling is not a love story. It’s a fairytale for masochists. A comedy for people who criticize the punchlines. A fantasy that most people can’t understand. And a spectacle no-one can deny.”

Paquette was also wearing a black armband with Bray written on it on her wrist.

FTR also paid tribute by wearing armbands with “BRAY”, “BRODIE” (Brodie Lee), and “JAY” (Jay Briscoe) on them.

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:

In the wake of Bray Wyatt’s death, WWE will donate all net proceeds to support JoJo Offerman and his children.

On Thursday, August 24, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported:

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.
