Former AEW and WWE talent Leva Bates shared a story via Twitter about how the late Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) helped her deal with her nerves backstage when she was working in NXT.
Bates also paid tribute to Wyatt by cosplaying him for Halloween. She tweeted,
“Story time: years ago I was doing the pants of blue thing. I was nervous & absolutely anxious, since I was the odd one out. I wasn’t signed, but I was being used a lot. I felt like a thorn in most people’s sides because this was kind of unheard at the time.
But one day in catering, Bray randomly struck up a conversation with me. Honestly about nothing, small talk and whatnot, but he oddly put me at ease. He didn’t have to do that, but he did. He probably didn’t even think anything of it, but it meant a lot to me.
So today I honor Bray Wyatt one of the only ways I know how: to wrestle as him. Thank you, Bray, for the entertainment, inspiration and your kindness”
