Posted on by Joseph Currier

On the two-year anniversary of his death, Bray Wyatt’s loved ones took a moment to remember all he meant to them.

Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) passed away at 36 years old on August 24, 2023 due to a heart condition. In an Instagram post today, Joseann Offerman shared a tribute to her late partner and remembered the love they shared.

“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever,” she wrote.

“2 years without you Windham, without the one person that knew me better than anyone. Not a day goes by that I don’t look at something our kids are doing and wish you could still be here to enjoy it with me. We miss you so much. But we know you’re all around, I can feel it, the kids feel it. I hope we keep making you proud my love. We love you forever.”

Wyatt and Offerman had two children together with Wyatt also having two children from a previous marriage.

In his own post, Adam Scherr (former WWE wrestler Braun Strowman) expressed how grateful he is for the help Wyatt gave him in his career.

“Today will always be so special to me. Even though it’s incredibly hard. Ten years ago today I debuted on tv with you. I still can’t thank you enough for what you did for me all those years ago,” Scherr wrote. “There is no Braun Strowman without you. You truly were one of a kind!! I still can’t believe you are gone. Two years have gone by so fast. I miss you everyday Hoot. Keep watching over us. And I sure hope I’m still making you proud!!!”

Wyatt’s sister Mika and former faction mate Erick Rowan were among the others paying tribute.

The creative spirit of Wyatt still lives on in WWE with The Wyatt Sicks, a faction led by his brother Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy (Taylor Rotunda). The group also includes Rowan, Nikki Cross, and current WWE Tag Team Champions Dexter Lumis & Joe Gacy.

JoJo Offerman performed at AEW All In on Saturday.

The former WWE ring announcer and partner to the late Bray Wyatt sang “Ain’t Nobody” by Chaka Khan before Swerve Strickland made his entrance for his match with Will Ospreay against The Young Bucks.

Offerman also served as a ring announcer for a dark match at an AEW Collision taping this past January.

Offerman’s musical ambitions were frequently showcased while she was a cast member on season one of Total Divas. She performed the national anthem at SummerSlam 2013 and also contributed background vocals on “Somebody Call My Momma,” during a Funkadactyls segment on WWE Main Event in June that year.

Offerman and Bray Wyatt have two children together: Knash Sixx Rotunda, born in May 2019, and Hyrie Von Rotunda, born a year later. The couple became engaged in April 2022. Wyatt passed away on August 24, 2023, at the age of 36.

JoJo Offerman works as ring announcer prior to AEW Collision

Former WWE ring announcer JoJo Offerman made a surprise appearance prior to AEW Collision in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Offerman handled ring announcing duties for a dark match before the show but did not appear during the live broadcast. It’s unknown how the appearance came about and if she will be doing more in the future.

Offerman, the widow of the late Bray Wyatt, worked for WWE as Raw ring announcer from 2016 until 2018. She remained under contract with the company until her exit in 2021.

The 30-year-old began working some wrestling conventions in 2024 as a way for fans to show their support for her following Wyatt’s passing. She said at the time she was focused on being a mother to their two children, but didn’t rule getting back into wrestling.

Offerman was part of the first season of Total Divas and is also a singer, contributing vocals for the entrance theme for the Tons of Funk tag team (Tyrus & Matt Bloom).

JoJo Offerman says Bray Wyatt’s ‘spirit is out there through his brother’

Posted on by Ian Carey

JoJo Offerman offered her thoughts on The Wyatt Sicks during a recent virtual signing with Southern Wrestling Autographs.

While Offerman says she loves that her late husband’s legacy is continuing through the angle, she admits it can sometimes be difficult for her to watch.

“It’s a very bittersweet thing for me,” she said about The Wyatt Sicks. “I love it for multiple reasons. I love it for the fact that his legacy is still strong and he’s out there, like, his spirit is out there through his brother. And I love it for Taylor, or Bo, because if Windham wanted anything in the world it’d be for his family to succeed, for his brother to succeed.”

“I’m very happy that Bo has that opportunity to carry on this legacy but it’s really hard a lot of the times because it’s like a trigger for me. I’ve learned that, and I’ve had to put my phone down and completely not watch it at points.”

Offerman says she’ll often ask Liv Morgan or Samantha Irvin to warn her if there will be something on the show that night that could be upsetting.

“The debut I didn’t even know was happening and his music hit and I straight up could not stop crying all night. It was full-on panic attacks for me.”

Despite it being difficult for her to watch, Offerman says she fully supports the group being featured on WWE programming.

“I’ve had to kind of make it work in the best way that I can because I do support,” she continued.

“I love that, like I said, his legacy is living on and his kids can see that but the part that’s the worst for me is personal. It’s me. I spent endless nights with him working on the song or working on the character. Days and weeks and months and so much of my time went into it.”

“He would turn to me when it came to like if he had to choose between three things,” she continued.

In particular, Offerman says Wyatt would come to her for feedback on music.

“Jamie from Code Orange reached out to me and he was very adamant on me being okay with the music being used again and I said ‘As long as you okay it, I’m okay with it.'”

Uncle Howdy, the character portrayed by Bray Wyatt’s brother Taylor Rotunda, made his in-ring debut on the August 26 WWE Raw, just three days after the first anniversary of Wyatt’s passing. He defeated Chad Gable.

JoJo Offerman working conventions so fans can show their support in person

Posted on by Ian Carey

JoJo Offerman says that the main reason she’s been working wrestling conventions is that it provides an opportunity for fans to come and show their support in person.

Offerman was interviewed by News 4 Jax last month at the River City Wrestling Convention and said that she has had good days and bad days since her fiancee, Bray Wyatt, passed away last summer.

“There are good days, there are bad days. It’s honestly very difficult most days,” she said. “But I’ve always said that Windham and I – you guys know him as Bray – our relationship was so strong, it was such a wonderful, beautiful thing that that’s what gets me going, knowing that we had that type of love and strength in what we built in our family, in our home, in our life. So, that keeps me going, staying strong for him.”

“The wrestling community, even beyond, they’ve really had my back, especially people in the company have really just stepped up and helped me get through a lot of my days,” she continued.

Offerman also mentioned that she works wrestling conventions primarily so fans can show their support in person. She said that she believes that fans seeing her in person have helped them cope with Wyatt’s passing.

“Honestly, the biggest reason I do this is to be able to let people know that they can come and, kind of, show their support in person if they want to cause I think that seeing me as helped a lot of people cope.”

JoJo also mentioned during the interview that she’s not ruling out potentially getting back in the ring but she’s mainly focused on being a mother.

“I’m a mom, so that’s pretty much what I do most of my time. Just kind of getting back into the groove of things, trying some music, I don’t know, maybe working out again in the ring, we don’t know, we’ll see but pretty much that’s all. I’m just a mom,” she said.

Jey Uso received text from JoJo Offerman after WWE Backlash ‘Fireflies’ entrance

Posted on by Joseph Currier

JoJo Offerman got emotional watching Jey Uso’s “Fireflies” entrance at WWE Backlash.

At the May 4 event in Lyon, France, the crowd created a new special entrance for Uso by holding up the lights on their phones and motioning along with him. It was reminiscent of the way fans would use their phones to create “Fireflies” for Bray Wyatt’s entrance.

Offerman and Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) were engaged to be married and had two children together prior to Wyatt’s tragic passing in August 2023. Uso told the Battleground Podcast that he received a text message from Offerman after she saw clips of his Backlash entrance. Her emotional reaction solidified that Uso wants to keep using the entrance:

His wife, JoJo, Bray Wyatt’s wife had text me and just said how much she was emotional watching. She saw clips of it on YouTube, and that let me know right there, alright, I’m going to keep it. I hope it sticks with me, man. I never asked for it. They did it and I just want to keep it with me now. 

Offerman is a former WWE ring announcer.

Backlash was the first-ever WWE PPV/PLE to take place from France. Uso lost to World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest at the event. On the Battleground Podcast, Uso said the crowd made it probably his favorite experience in wrestling ever.

Since Backlash, Uso has been competing in WWE’s King of the Ring tournament. He’s facing Gunther in the semifinals on Raw this coming Monday.

JoJo shares tribute to Bray Wyatt: ‘I miss the love of my life so much it hurts’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Jojo Offerman has shared a beautiful tribute to her late fiance, Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt).

Rotunda, 36, passed away due to a heart issue on August 24. He and Offerman had been engaged since April 2022 and had two children together, a son named Knash born in 2019 and a daughter named Hyrie born in 2020.

 “I miss the love of my life so much it hurts,” Offerman wrote on Instagram. “He was everything I ever wanted and everything I never knew I needed, and I let him know that everyday.”

Offerman wrote that she was so blessed to love Rotunda and be loved by him. She cries because she wishes they had more time together, but she smiles knowing how blessed she was to share the time they did have. Offerman promised that she will always show their kids how incredible Rotunda was.

Offerman’s full tribute can be seen below:

Ive written and rewritten this post so many times because there are no amount of words in this world to describe Windham and what he means to me. But I’ve also been avoiding it because in some weird way it makes all of this all too real. I miss the love of my life so much it hurts. He was everything I ever wanted and everything I never knew I needed, and I let him know that everyday. I’m so grateful that he allowed me to love him fiercely. But I am so blessed he loved me fiercely in return. He was and always will be the best person I know, my best friend, and my soulmate. Windham truly gave me a love that will last a lifetime and oh baby I thank him for that. He was the kindest, funniest, most caring man in the world. He made me feel beyond special every single day. He made everyone feel special, which was one of the million things I loved about him. Our bond was magical, something only the two of us understood. And that beautiful bond brought two perfect babies into the world. That’s another thing, he was the BEST daddy to Knash, Hyrie, Cadyn, and Kendyl. Family was EVERYTHING to him. Windham knew me better than I knew myself and he always knew how to calm my storm, as I did for him. He was the only person in the world that I could be unapologetically myself around and not only did he accept it, he loved it. I cry because I wish we had more time baby, but I smile because I was so blessed to be loved by you in the time we did have. I will always love you Windham. I will always show our kids how incredible their daddy is. I will always make sure they know how much you love them. And I will always make you proud just like you made me proud. I love you forever baby, until we meet again

Offerman is a former WWE ring announcer. She last appeared for the company prior to announcing her first pregnancy.

WWE is donating all net proceeds from Bray Wyatt merchandise sales to support four Rotunda’s children and Offerman.
