The WWE 2K24 roster is getting a fan-favorite character added in the form of Bray Wyatt’s The Fiend. Windham Lawrence Rotunda, known by his ring name, Bray Wyatt, sadly passed away on the 24th of August last year, aged just 36, after suffering a heart attack. By the time of his passing, he had already become a fan-favorite wrestler and a common name in WWE.
Wyatt introduced his new, horror-themed character in the ring titled The Fiend back in 2019, and fans can now look forward to playing as the demonic character in the upcoming 2K Games’ title, WWE 2K24, releasing next month.
The Fiend Is the Latest Addition to the WWE 2K24 Roster
WWE 2K24 releases on March 8th, and fans will hope the game releases without any hiccups despite all the controversy outside the ring. The former World Champion was removed from the cover of WWE 2K24, leading several fans to speculate if his character would make it to the game after the superstar was accused of several charges in the latest ongoing controversy surrounding WWE.
Despite all of the serious allegations surrounding Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar, fans are still hoping that the game gets released as scheduled. The announcement of The Fiend entering the roster was made on X. Fans will hope to give Wyatt a fitting farewell following his untimely demise late last year.
Wyatt is known to bring in new ways of playing the game with his unique signature moves. His finisher move, Sister Abigail, has long been loved by the fans of the game, just as much as his other finisher, Mandible Claw, which was introduced by Wyatt when he played as The Fiend. The Fiend’s Mandible Claw is a classic take on Mick Foley’s signature move.
Several stars are already confirmed for the roster, and more will be revealed as the game gets closer to release.
