The Raw Women’s Champion Honors the Late Wrestling Icon in an Emotional Segment
The sudden passing of Bray Wyatt has deeply affected the entire pro wrestling community, and WWE Raw on August 28, 2023, was filled with tributes to the late superstar. The evening’s most touching moment was delivered by Becky Lynch, the Raw Women’s Champion.
After a high-octane main event against Zoey Stark, which concluded with Lynch driving Stark through a table for the victory, Becky had a special tribute in store. She took a moment to remove the Bray Wyatt band from her arm, holding it up for the entire arena and viewers at home to see. Overcome with emotion, Lynch couldn’t hold back her tears as Raw concluded, leaving a lasting impression on everyone watching.
Throughout the evening, several WWE superstars donned armbands bearing Bray Wyatt’s name as a mark of respect. Seth Rollins, for instance, wore an armband with “Windham” inscribed on it, reminiscent of Mercedes Mone’s tribute at AEW All In London. Bray Wyatt’s legacy as one of the most innovative minds in wrestling is undeniable, and his absence will be profoundly felt across the wrestling world.
