Braun Strowman — who debuted as a member of the “Wyatt Family” and is a godfather to Rotunda’s son — also addressed the passing … saying, “8 years ago today I joined you as your black sheep. If I knew only an 8 short years later I would have to say good by I sure as hell wouldn’t have taken so much for granted.”

TMZ Sports cohost Mojo Muhtadi — who wrestled in WWE as Mojo Rawley — also paid respects to his friend Thursday night.

“Everyone knows that Bray Wyatt was one of the greatest, most original, creative, and captivating performers this business has ever seen. But even Bray Wyatt couldn’t hold a candle to Windham Rotunda. Windham united us when the competition tried to tear us apart. Windham built us up when the business tried to bring us down.
