Hi there everybody, on today's rest of the news video we cover the sudden and tragic passing of

0:04.8

WWE star Bray Wyatt, Windom Rtunda, just 36 years old. This horrible situation

0:13.9

went public through Triple H, of course, all the WWE who posted on X that he had spoken

0:20.3

to Bray's father, Mike Rtunda, who confirmed that the Bray had passed away at this

0:26.4

so horribly young age. For us in the UK times on just truly awful to wake up to and

0:35.2

like I can only imagine that those who were experiencing this story as it kind of unfolded live

0:41.2

were probably in a shock sense of disbelief, kind of unspeakably sad and horrible, but we'll

0:50.1

1:39.5

was life-retting and they had been hospitalised at one point, but again noting progress towards

1:46.2

a return, at the same time I believe there was a line in there about WWE being very, very careful

1:52.4

to protect his long-term health in any return plans, which is obviously the top priority,

1:57.7

yesterday he suffers this sudden heart attack and he passes away. The most important thing in

2:04.2

situations like this for me I think to consider is the people most affected by this, which of course

2:11.0

he survived by his partner Jojo Hoffrenen and four children. His wider wrestling family is
