On 24th August, Triple H announced through X the sudden demise of former WWE Universal Champion Bray Wyatt. Bray Wyatt’s father and Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda informed him of the news through a call. It is the second such tragic passing of a WWE member in the last two days.
Since then, fans have started to demand a tribute episode for Bray Wyatt. WWE rarely does such shows, but when it happens, they are mostly for collective causes rather than individuals. Though WWE has dedicated time segments for such unfortunate events, Wyatt fans are looking for more.

Fans demand more than a Graphic for Bray Wyatt
WWE usually puts up graphics on the TitanTron, along with the attendance of current roster stars to pay their tribute in memory of deceased WWE members. But this time fans want more than just pre-determined requisites for Wyatt.
One fan wants a 10-bell salute for the Firefly funhouse host.
Agree. He definitely deserves more than a graphic to start the show and a 10 bell salute

Another fan put forth his suggestion of celebrating his WWE career by showcasing his past moments of glory and dedicating time to interview talents on Wyatt.
Correct. Show all his past moments. Interview all the talent. We will never forget him. Ever.
