Windham Rotunda, also known as Bray Wyatt, was one of the most creative superstars that the WWE has ever seen.

However, his untimely demise has shaken the wrestling world, and many athletes from other sporting worlds have extended their condolences, including Danis.

Conor McGregor’s friend, and training partner Dillon Danis, has been vocal about his love for WWE. He was an avid wrestling fan, especially the WWE, since his childhood days. Amidst his verbal spat with Logan Paul ahead of their fight in October, Danis has credited legends like ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson for his trash-talking skills.

Furthermore, the 30-year-old BJJ specialist is still a fan of the promotion and paid his respects to Bray Wyatt with a simple gesture. Dillon Danis shared a post from WWE on his Instagram story, acknowledging the star that Wyatt was and extending his condolences to his family. Let us take a look at what the fans had to say about the news.

Some fans were also expecting to see him return to action again. They even wanted him to dethrone Roman Reigns as the Universal Champion. Unsurprisingly, their beloved star is no more to bring their hopes alive.
