The memory of Bray Wyatt, who passed away at 36 last year, lives on in heartfelt ways. MMA fighter Chris Bungard recently honored the iconic WWE Superstar during his fight at the Cage Warriors 171 event in Glasgow, Scotland.
In a touching tribute, Bungard donned Wyatt’s signature tropical hat and shirt, serenaded the crowd with Wyatt’s theme song, “The Whole World In His Hands,” and even delivered his famous catchphrase, “I’m here,” before extinguishing a lantern.
Though Bungard ultimately lost his bout against Dumitru Girlean, his gesture resonated deeply with fans worldwide. Wyatt’s influence transcended wrestling, leaving an indelible mark on various arenas, including mixed martial arts.
This isn’t the first time a WWE Superstar’s entrance has been replicated in MMA. Fighters like Israel Adesanya, Michael “Venom” Page, and others have paid homage to wrestling icons, adding a unique flair to their own performances.
Meanwhile, WWE continued to honor Wyatt’s legacy with the release of the documentary “Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal” on Peacock.
Narrated by WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker, the film offers an intimate look at Wyatt’s life, characters, and impact on the wrestling world.
