Professional Wrestler. He is best known for his run in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as Bray Wyatt, playing cryptic characters. His WWE career began in 2009, wrestling as Husky Harris in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). In 2010, he was promoted to the main roster, competing on the RAW brand. In that time, he was featured on NXT season 2 as a rookie, and as a member of The Nexus faction, led by Wade Barrett. In 2012, he began leading a group with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper known as "The Wyatt Family," renowned for their backwards cult persona. He had memorable rivalries with Daniel Bryan and John Cena, and held the SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Randy Orton in 2016. In 2017, he won the WWE Championship in an "Elimination Chamber" match before losing it to Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33 in April of that year.

He was released from WWE in 2021, but in late 2022, he made his heavily teased return at the "Extreme Rules" event in October of that year. Wyatt wrestled what was his final match against LA Knight at the "Royal Rumble" event in January 2023, before he was struck down by a life-threatening illness.
