Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful announced that Bray Wyatt got COVID earlier this year and that exacerbated his heart issues, and he died of a heart attack today.
There was talk within WWE that Wyatt would be returning soon as his health seemed to be improving. Sapp noted that Rotunda suffered a heart attack and then passed away.
Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon got a lot of support from his writers back in the day to make what WWE is today. Former WWE and WCW writer Vince Russo was around for the Attitude Era which caused a huge peak in business for WWE. It seems he offered his assistance to Vince McMahon last year. However, Mr. McMahon wasn’t willing to take any help.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Vince Russo claimed that “in 2002, I almost went back to WWE.” Then he said he had a “text and email” exchange with Vince McMahon “months before the FDAs came out.” He offered him a consulting gig, because “I will never be on the road with the politicians on the road, ever.” He claimed this happened in 2022, where he said that he would not go to television, because “I have no interest in making this my job.”
Vince Russo further claimed that Vince McMahon messaged him back and asked him to watch WWE RAW for the next couple of weeks and send some notes about what he thinks. Russo agreed, and asked what the compensation was. That was when McMahon allegedly said, “I’m not paying you, you have to prove yourself.”
Vince Russo then allegedly said that he doesn’t work for free. He’s in his 60s, and he does what he does on his own, and he’s not working for free. That is when Vince McMahon allegedly sent back a “scathing email” where he said, “how dare you, I would have jumped at the opportunity.” Russo claims he did not reply to The Chairman.
