RIP Bray Wyatt

Stevens reacted to the tragic news on Twitter.
“My heart is broken. R.I.P. Sensei. Thank you for all you have done for the fans and for me. This does not seem real.”
NXT announcer Wade Barrett, who was previously an announcer for NWA, also reacted to the news.
“You two [Stevens and Jocephus] were a brilliant duo. Incredibly sad – he was a great guy & performer. RIP Joseph.”
Jocephus and Stevens had their final match together on the Jan. 26, 2020 edition of Powerrr, losing to The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express in a tag team bout.

In another tweet, Mickie said wrestlers like herself and Taya can change the old narrative that women have an expiration date in wrestling.
She wrote, “With age comes a strength and wisdom that you can’t teach. I feel more powerful & sexy than I ever have. Yet it is only this way because this is the narrative we’ve accepted to be ok. We’ve pushed this mindset & it’s damn time we changed it. Times have changed. And so have we!”
Mickie, 41, was a surprise entrant during the 2021 Women’s Royal Rumble earlier this year. Her last singles match for WWE came in Sept. 2020, in a loss to Zelina Vega.
Meanwhile, the 37-year-old Taya Valkyrie recently began working at the WWE Performance Center. There’s no word on when she will be called up to WWE TV.
