"I'm heartbroken" - The Rock sends an emotional message for the late Bray Wyatt, shares video of an iconic moment between them
The Rock took to social media to share an emotional message for the late Bray Wyatt following his tragic death.
Wyatt shared the ring with members of the Anoa'i family quite a few times, including The Great One at WrestleMania 32.
Taking to Instagram, The Rock posted a video of his confrontation with Wyatt, which took place way back in 2016. He also wrote a long emotional message dedicated to the former Universal Champion:
"You will be missed, my friend. Deeply missed 🕊️ 💔 Im heartbroken for the Rotunda family over Windham Rotunda’s (Bray Wyatt) passing. What an incredible shining star he was in our squared circle 💫 I LOVED his presence, promos, in ring work and most importantly - his connection with the @wwe universe. Bray Wyatt was a very unique, cool, rare, ORIGINAL and AUTHENTIC character — which is actually very hard to create in our crazy world of pro wrestling," wrote The Rock.
The Great One further mentioned how he and Wyatt wanted to "test the waters" for a potential dream match between them. He lastly sent his condolences to the Windham family:
"Very few have done it. Bray was one of them. So at WRESTLEMANIA 32 - in front of the largest crowd in WWE HISTORY - 101,763 rabid @wwe universe fans…Bray and I, decided to GO FOR IT and “test the waters” to see how the crowd would react to a potential ROCK vs BRAY WYATT future WrestleMania match. Needless to say, we got our answer 🤯⚡️🏟️ My love, strength and mana to the Wyndham family. Love you guys and stay strong. As always, Bray….”thank you for the house,’" he added.
