The New Day have previously shared the ring with Bray Wyatt. Back in 2016, The New Day and The Wyatt Family worked a tag-team rivalry. It started when the faction interrupted Bray Wyatt during his speech on the June 20, 2016, episode of RAW, and ended at Battleground 2016 with The Wyatt Family defeating them in a six-man tag team match.

However, Big E had become close friends with The Eater of Worlds beyond the squared circle, and Wyatt even helped Big E break into the business!

Tommaso Ciampa's tribute on WWE RAW.

Tommaso Ciampa went up against Bronson Reed in a winning effort on Monday Night RAW.

Ciampa paid tribute to The Eater of Worlds with an arm band that had “TF BW” written on it – Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt's initials.

While Ciampa has not worked directly with Wyatt, he was one of the superstars among T-Bar, Seth Rollins, and others, to have blackened their profiles after Wyatt’s return during Extreme Rules 2022. One of the multiple assumptions was that the superstars who had blackened their profiles would be the ones to join Bray Wyatt.

Later, Zayn and KO cut a segment where they challenged Finn Balor and Damian Priest to a Steel City Street Fight at Payback 2023, where all forms of barbarity are legal.

Kevin Owens' tribute to Bray Wyatt during his time on the live show was a black armband that had his real name printed in white: “Windham.”

KO shared a brief feud with The Fiend in 2020. The Fiend returned to SmackDown on October 2, 2020, attacked Owens, and held Alexa Bliss’ hand on The Kevin Owens Show before disappearing.

Owens and The Fiend had a match on the following SmackDown where KO was defeated.

#1. Seth Rollins paid tribute to Bray Wyatt, The Fiend, and Windham Rotunda

The promo ended with Nakamura attacking the World Heavyweight Champion from behind, leaving an infuriated Rollins in the ring.

The Visionary paid tribute to all three versions of the late superstar: Windham Rotunda, The Fiend, and Bray Wyatt.

First, Seth Rollins’ belt showcased The Fiend side plates. Second, he used Wyatt’s catchphrase “Yowie Wowie” during his segment. Finally, The Visionary wore an arm-band with “Windham” written on it.

The Visionary and The Eater of Worlds have feuded more than once. However, the one which had the most impact on Wyatt’s career was their match at Crown Jewel 2019 where The Fiend defeated Seth Rollins to win the WWE Universal Championship for the first time.
