The WWE world was shaken to its core on Thursday when it was announced that Bray Wyatt had passed away unexpectedly. Wyatt, who joined the WWE fourteen years ago, was just 36 years old.

The news was first announced by fellow WWE star Paul “Triple H” Levesque on social media.

The shocking news understandably caused a slew of heartfelt tributes and an outpouring of grief on social media, both among fellow stars and fans alike.

WWE star Alexis Cabrera, known by her in-ring personality Alexa Bliss, took to Twitter to share her devastation and shock at the news.

It had been previously reported that Bray Wyatt was battling an unspecified but life-threatening illness; however, he was reportedly returning to good health and even had his eyes on a comeback as recently as earlier this month.

However, that will not make the news of his passing any easier to bear for the WWE universe.

Fellow WWE star Titus O'Neal went on Twitter to express his thoughts and send his condolences to Wyatt's family.
