On Friday night, WWE kicked off programming with tributes to Wyatt, and Terry Funk who died earlier last week.
The company also paid tribute to the wrestling stars on Monday night.
All Elite Wrestling also sent their condolences to Wyatt and Funk during the All In show over the weekend.
The news of Wyatt’s death was a devastating revelation as a report surfaced earlier this month that he had been given the all-clear to return to wrestling.
The former champion was nearing a return to the ring after battling a “life-threatening illness.”
Wyatt returned to the WWE in October 2022 and was in a couple of programs.
However, he was sidelined with health issues before WrestleMania 39.
