Windham Lawrence Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt, was born on May 23, 1987. He was a third-generation professional wrestler, as he was following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Blackjack Mulligan, and his father, Mike Rotunda.
Barry and Kendall Windham, his two uncles, were also wrestlers. Taylor Rotunda, his younger brother, competes in professional wrestling under the ring name Bo Dallas.
Bray got married to Samantha Rotunda in 2012 and later the couple got divorced in 2017. After that, he got married to Jojo, and he also had 4 kids.
In 2010 under the guise of Husky Harris, Rotunda began his professional wrestling career with the WWE through their developing division NXT. As the cult leader Bray Wyatt of the Wyatt Family faction, which also includes Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman, he was added to the main roster in 2014.
He was regarded as one of the best speakers of his generation, enticing the crowds with the expression “follow the buzzards” and frequently sang the line “he’s got the whole world in his hands.”
Bray joined WWE in 2009 and ever since then, he has been a part of the company for a considerable amount of time. But in 2021-22 he was abruptly released, which became the most talked-about event of the year.
However, he unexpectedly returned to WWE in September of last year, creating excitement with a suspenseful plot line for which he was well-known.
