Professional wrestler Windham Lawrence Rotunda is from the United States. His current contract with WWE allows him to perform on their SmackDown brand as Bray Wyatt.
Following in the footsteps of his father Mike Rotunda, his grandfather Blackjack Mulligan, and two of his uncles, Barry and Kendall Windham, Rotunda is a third-generation professional wrestler. His younger brother Taylor Rotunda, better known as Bo Dallas, is also a professional wrestler.
He competed in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), then a WWE development territory, with his brother twice holding the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship. He did this between 2008 and 2012. Between 2010 and 2011, he competed as Husky Harris on WWE’s main roster, most notably with The Nexus.
Rotunda was rebranded as Bray Wyatt, the evil cult leader of The Wyatt Family, after returning to WWE’s developmental territories, and the group eventually made its main roster debut in 2013.
He held the WWE Championship once and the Universal Championship twice before becoming a three-time global champion in the WWE. Additionally, he has held the Raw Tag Team Championship with Matt Hardy and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Luke Harper and Randy Orton under the Freebird Rule.

Details of Wyatt’s divorce are still being revealed, but all signs point to an ugly split with allegations of adultery. These charges have been referred to by Wyatt’s lawyers as “defamatory statements against the spouse to various persons in the community in an effort to damage his reputation.” Wyatt’s lawyers made this statement on his behalf.
Despite the fact that WWE Superstars are contractually connected to the company and that WWE has the ability to regulate whether or not talent can make appearances outside of WWE, WWE Superstars are considered to be independent contractors rather than employees.
Because of this, WWE is able to avoid paying a significant amount of money in employment taxes while at the same time passing on the savings to its talent, who, as independent contractors, are subject to double taxation, including a 15.3% self-employment tax.
